Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Mental Health and Well-being, Family Functioning

In brief

The goal of this clinical trial is to test an app-based just-in-time-adaptive intervention (JITAI). The intervention aims to improve child and family mental health. A JITAI provides in-the-moment feedback to coach families. The questions it tests are if the app will improve mental health and family functioning. Participants will download an app on their phone and complete JITAI sessions. Researchers will compare intervention and control groups to see if the app improves mental health.
