First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This pilot study tested a digital mental health program called TEPS for teens aged 12-18 with anxiety. Sixty-six participants were recruited from public libraries and randomly assigned to the digital program or usual library services. The study measured how acceptable, usable, and feasible the program was, along with changes in anxiety and avoidance.
