Study Summary

This trial will use machine learning to develop precision treatment rules (PTRs) for three leading digital interventions for emotional disorders, which will be evaluated in a clinical trial. The goal is to understand for whom and how well these interventions work in order to optimize treatment delivery decisions.

Who is the study for?

This trial is for English-speaking adults aged 18 or older who have access to an internet-connected device. It's designed for those experiencing emotional disorders like anxiety and depression.Check my eligibility

What is being tested?

The study tests three digital mental health programs: UP, Space for Depression, and Space for Resilience. Using machine learning, it aims to find out which program works best in a large healthcare setting.See study design

What are the potential side effects?

Since this trial involves digital interventions rather than medications, traditional side effects are not expected. However, users may experience discomfort or distress related to the content of the mental health interventions.

3Treatment groups

Experimental Treatment

Active Control

Group I: The Unified Protocol for Transdiagnostic Treatment of Emotional Disorders (UP)Experimental Treatment1 Intervention

Digital, transdiagnostic, emotion-focused CBT intervention that consists of five "core" modules or components that have been shown to target temperamental characteristics (i.e., neuroticism) and resulting emotion dysregulation that are believed to underlie all anxiety, depressive, and emotional disorders. The core components of the program are psychoeducation, mindfulness, cognitive flexibility, behavioral strategies to counter emotion-driven behaviors, interoceptive, and emotion exposures.

Group II: Space for Resilience (SFR)Active Control1 Intervention

Digital program based on positive psychology principles and designed to promote resilience and well-being through a series of seven modules. The core components of the program include psychoeducation, values exploration, building relationships, promoting self-esteem and self-efficacy, and building gratitude and optimism.

Group III: Space from Depression (SFD)Active Control1 Intervention

Digital CBT program designed to minimize the impact of depressive symptoms. This program emphasizes the use of cognitive behavioral strategies as well as mindfulness through a series of seven structured modules. The core components of the program include psychoeducation around the relationship between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors; cognitive behavioral practices aimed at restructuring negative beliefs; behavioral strategies to improve self-esteem; and mindfulness techniques that focus attention on the present moment.
