First seen Jul 13, 2026 · Last updated Jul 14, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This trial investigates whether adding personalized micro-interventions and social prescribing to basic mental health education can improve wellbeing in people facing socioeconomic hardship. Participants in disadvantaged areas of France use a digital support system called Moodbuster, which offers tailored content to build resilience and social connections. The study compares different combinations of these tools to see which approach works best for groups often left out of mental health research.
