## What is Bolster Research Study?

**The Bolster app is provided as part of a research study hosted by the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (IRB #25-1793) and can only be accessed by the study team and active study participants who have provided informed consent. The app will only collect information from individuals who access the app with a login and password provided through this channel. No personal identifiers are stored within the app, and linking data to a specific individual can only be done with a key kept by the research team.**

Bolster is a self-guided wellness tool developed for caregivers of young adults at risk for or currently experiencing symptoms of psychosis. Bolster provides support to caregivers by providing information about psychosis, symptoms, and treatment, communication skills to use with their loved one, step-by-step guides for common caregiving challenges, and a tracking feature to note patterns of symptom severity.
