Summary

This trial tests whether personalizing content or adding human support increases how much healthcare workers use a digital mental health program. The program teaches cognitive behavioral skills like activity scheduling and mood tracking. Researchers will compare a standard version, a tailored version, and a tailored version with coaching. Participants use the program weekly for 6 weeks and complete questionnaires at several points to measure engagement and burnout.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
A digital mental health program based on cognitive behavioral therapy, with optional content tailoring and human support coaching
What this could lead to
If it works, this could point toward better ways to keep healthcare workers engaged in digital mental health tools, potentially reducing burnout.
What could go wrong
The trial is early and focuses on engagement, not direct health outcomes. Results may not apply to all workers, and adding human support may not boost participation.
