This study is limited to English-speaking participants because all assessments, interventions, and consent materials are currently validated and approved only in English. Expanding to other languages would require translation and psychometric validation, which are beyond the scope and budget of this study. This limitation is acknowledged and will be addressed in future research as resources permit. Finally, the study team is only fluent in English, making it infeasible to accurately consent or interact with non-English speakers without interpreting services which again is outside of the scope of this projects budget and timeline. Proceeding without formal translation services would risk miscommunication in informed consent, data collection, or participant support and thus protects participants informed consent and participant understanding.
