Summary

This study tests a free mobile app called Stappvoorstap for adults on mental health waiting lists in the Netherlands. The app tracks daily stress, offers coping tips, relaxation exercises, and educational content. Over 4 weeks, 54 participants will use the app and complete questionnaires to see if it lowers stress and improves quality of life during the wait.

What this could mean

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

Active substance: Stappvoorstap mobile app (behavioral intervention: stress monitoring, coping suggestions, relaxation exercises)
What this could lead to: If it works, this app could offer a low-cost way to reduce stress and improve well-being for people stuck on long mental health waitlists.
What could go wrong: This is a small early study with only 54 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The app is a temporary support tool, not a replacement for therapy.
