Trial Design

2Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Placebo Group
Group I: W-GenZD Mobile Application GroupExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Participants assigned to the W-GenZD mobile application group will be asked to download and use the W-GenZD mobile application that will provide information and tools through a chatbot (a computer program designed to communicate with users). Participants will be invited to use the mobile application as often as they like during the 4-week treatment period - we will encourage 5 to 10 minutes of daily use.
Group II: Digital Education Application GroupPlacebo Group1 Intervention
Participants assigned to the Digital Education mobile app group will be given instructions on how to download and access the application that will provide general health information. A new article will be provided to the participant at a rate of once per week across the 4 weeks (4 articles total) and they will receive a weekly notification when a new article is available. Each article will be available for one week from release date. We expect a target dosage of roughly 30 minutes per week (120 min), which would make it comparable to Woebot (about 5 min per day X 28 days = 140 min).
