Summary
This study is testing whether an online, self-guided dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) course is practical and helpful for adults with mild-to-moderate depression or anxiety. Up to 40 participants will take the 8-week course, which teaches skills like mindfulness and emotion regulation. Researchers will measure how acceptable and usable the course is, and whether it improves symptoms.

Active substance
dialectical behavior therapy (online self-guided course)
What this could lead to
If this works, it could provide a convenient, low-cost online option for people with mild-to-moderate depression or anxiety to learn coping skills.
What could go wrong
This is a small pilot study with only 40 participants and no control group, so results may not apply broadly. The self-guided format may not work for everyone, and dropouts are possible.
