First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether using a faith-based mobile app (Pray.com) every day for four weeks could improve mental health and well-being in racial/ethnic minority adults. 77 participants used the app and completed surveys on stress, anxiety, depression, and spiritual well-being. The goal was to see if the app was practical and helpful, with early results suggesting it may reduce symptoms and improve life satisfaction.
