Mobile Health and COVID-19
Completed · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Anxiety Depression
In brief
The proposed research focuses on evaluating the mobile application, Easing Anxiety Sensitivity for Everyone (EASE), to improve overall public health that concerns risks and mental health status during the coronavirus disease of 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic and to minimize the existing health disparities among Black, Hispanic and Latino, and American Indian (BLAI) individuals during this time. EASE provides COVID-19 symptom monitoring, exposure management skills, and psychoeducation on stress and it's impact on infection and disease susceptibility. This study aims to compare the effect of EASE to an empirical measurement of standard-of-care digital intervention and to identify the effective mechanisms in EASE.
