Mobile Phone App for Depression and Anxiety in Young Men Who Are Attracted to Men
Withdrawn before enrolling · Phase 1/Phase 2
Conditions studied: Depressive Symptoms, Anxiety Generalized
In brief
The purpose of this study is to determine whether a mobile phone application ("app") for symptoms of depression and anxiety is practical and acceptable to young men who are attracted to men, and whether it reduces their anxiety and depressive symptoms. The investigators will also evaluate whether reductions in symptoms are maintained over a 10 week follow-up period after young men complete the mobile phone intervention.
