What are the potential side effects?
Since the intervention is an online mental health program without medical treatments or drugs involved, traditional physical side effects are not expected. However, participants may experience emotional discomfort as they engage with the therapy content.

Trial Design

2Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Active Control
Group I: ACT Guide LiteExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Those randomly assigned to the ACT condition after completing baseline assessment will be automatically directed to the registration for ACT Guide Lite. Participants in the ACT condition will be asked to complete the intervention at that time, but they will have the option to take a break before starting. If an ACT participant does not complete the intervention, they will be prompted to login by a research assistant.
Group II: Waitlist controlActive Control1 Intervention
Participants assigned to the waitlist condition will be asked to simply wait to complete the scheduled 1-week and 1-month follow up assessments before accessing the intervention. After they complete the 1-month follow up assessment we will direct participants in the waitlist to access ACT Guide Lite, but at that point their participation in the study will be complete and we will not analyze their use of or responses to the program as part of the study aims.
