NCT ID NCT06359951
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tested three short, one-time digital sessions (called Project YES) designed to help teens and young adults ages 13-25 who have depression, anxiety, or eating disorder symptoms. Participants completed questionnaires before the session, right after, and again 3 months later to see if symptoms improved. The goal was to see if these quick online tools could be a helpful addition to routine care.

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
digital single-session interventions (Project YES)
What this could lead to
If effective, these short digital sessions could offer a quick, low-cost way to reduce depression and anxiety symptoms in teens seen in specialty clinics.
What could go wrong
This was a small, completed study with only 37 participants and no control group, so results may not apply broadly. The interventions are brief and may not work for everyone.
