Summary

This study tested a single-session website called SPARK Coping in 50 college students at risk for psychosis. The goal was to see if it reduces distress, stigma, and improves attitudes toward treatment. Participants completed surveys at the start and two weeks later, with some getting the website right away and others after a delay.

Active substance: SPARK Coping (self-guided website)
What this could lead to: If it works, this could provide a low-cost, accessible way to help college students manage early psychosis symptoms and feel more comfortable seeking treatment.
