Summary

This study tested an online program called PROCARE-I+ designed to prevent anxiety and depression in teenagers who are at high risk. Thirty adolescents with early symptoms took part in the program, which included extra modules tailored to their needs. Results showed improvements in their emotional state, quality of life, and ability to manage emotions. However, the study was small and had no comparison group, so more research is needed.

What this could mean

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

Active substance: online behavioral intervention (PROCARE-I+ program with add-on modules)
What this could lead to: If successful, this could provide an effective online tool to prevent anxiety and depression in at-risk teenagers, improving their emotional health and quality of life.
What could go wrong: This was a small, early-stage study with only 30 participants and no control group, so results may not apply to everyone. The program may not work for all teens or in different settings.
