First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study tested an online program called EMPATIA designed to prevent mental health issues in teenagers who already have mild symptoms. 158 adolescents aged 12-18 used the program for 8 weeks. Researchers compared them to teens receiving usual care to see if the online intervention could reduce overall psychological distress and delay the start of a mental disorder.
