The current study aims to assess the acceptability and feasibility of an adapted version of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Treatment Seeking (CBT-TS) for use with signing Deaf adults. This is a Stage 1A intervention refinement study consisting of a single-arm open pilot trial. Thirty Deaf adults with clinically significant symptoms of alcohol use disorder (AUD), post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), depression, anxiety, and/or insomnia, who are not currently engaged in treatment will be recruited from across the United States. All subjects will complete a baseline assessment of their behavioral health symptoms, perceptions towards treatment, and intent to seek treatment prior to engaging in the adapted CBT-TS intervention. The primary clinical outcome, assessed at one-month follow-up, will be whether subjects scheduled professional treatment. Secondary outcomes include changes in subjects' perceptions towards treatment, intentions to seek treatment, and symptom severity from baseline. During the one-month, follow-up assessment subjects will also complete a client satisfaction survey and open-ended questions to provide feedback about the CBT-TS intervention.
