Summary

This study will test whether a personalized smartphone app can help prevent anxiety and depression in adults who do not currently have these conditions. About 2,595 people in Spain and Chile will use either a highly interactive app (Pandora-1), a simpler educational app (Pandora-2), or receive usual care. The apps provide tips on exercise, sleep, relationships, and emotional well-being, and track progress over a year.
