1 uSafeUS Acutely, during times of imminent threat or violence

• Designed for college women to assist in obtaining help during times of violence, imminent harm, and resources specific to sexual/dating violence.

• The app developer agreed to tailor the app for our participant population with a default tab named “demo college” for our participants for study use.
