Pilot of Reconnecting to Internal Sensations and Experiences in Undergraduates (RISE)

Project RISE is a randomized control trial. The intervention consists of four modules that focus on multiple aspects of interoception including: body awareness, body sensations/movement, eating, health and self-care, emotional awareness, and understanding the self in relation to others. The comparator condition is called "Health Habits" and is matched for time and attention; participants complete modules related to healthy habits such as financial planning, hygiene, stretching, and healthy eating. Variables of interest include self-report measures of interoception, eating pathology, suicidality, physiological measures of interoception (electrocardiograph; ECG; pain tolerance measured via algometer), and an implicit association test (IAT) with death and life stimuli (meant to measure implicit associations with suicidality). The population will be college students, with current or past suicidality or low interoception.

Assessment of Interoceptive Awareness. Total scores range from 0-175. Higher scores indicate a better outcome.

Feasibility and Acceptability questions. Scores range from 4-28. Higher scores indicate a better outcome.

Measure of suicidal ideation, greater scores indicate more severe ideation. Scores range from 0-12. Higher scores indicate more suicidality, or a worse outcome.

Measure of disordered eating. Global score ranges from 0-6; greater scores indicate more severe eating disorder symptoms

Measured via ECG. Perceived versus actual heartbeats are recorded across 3 trials. Scores range from 0-1; higher scores indicate greater cardiac interoceptive accuracy.

Short measure assessing anxiety and depression symptoms. Scores range from 0-72; greater scores indicate more pathology

Inclusion Criteria: Low interoceptive awareness History of suicidal ideation or attempt 18 or older Exclusion Criteria: *Below the age of 18
