Summary

This study aims to improve how sexual and gender minority (LGBTQ+) individuals use digital mental health services. Researchers will test different messages and prompts on the Mental Health America website to see what encourages users to explore resources. About 2,300 participants will be randomly assigned to see these strategies, and their clicks and time spent on pages will be tracked. The goal is to learn which approaches work best for different users, not to provide a treatment.

What this could mean

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

Active substance: HAPA-based engagement strategies (behavioral messages on a website)
What this could lead to: If successful, this could show how to better tailor online mental health resources for LGBTQ+ people, potentially increasing their use and benefit.
What could go wrong: This is an early-stage behavioral study, not a treatment trial. Results may not apply to all digital platforms or populations, and engagement strategies may not lead to lasting mental health improvements.
