Testing a Digital Health Intervention App for Depression and Anxiety

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Depression, Anxiety

In brief

Although mobile applications ("apps") for mental health are popular and widely available, little is known about how well they actually help people with common mental health symptoms of depression, anxiety, and stress. We are partnering with a commercially available app to test how well this app helps people's mental health over 8 weeks. Participants will be randomly assigned (like flipping a coin) to two groups: (a) using the app, (b) no app until after 8 weeks. We will ask participants to complete online surveys about their mood and well-being so we can better understand the effects of these different treatments.
