First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests a smartphone app designed to help teenagers in rural New Hampshire cope with anxiety. The app sends quick, personalized suggestions for calming activities. Fifty teens aged 13-17 with mild or worse anxiety will use the app for 3 months or be placed on a waitlist. Researchers will check if the app is easy to use and if it actually lowers anxiety levels.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
Just-In-Time Adaptive Intervention (JITAI) smartphone app
What this could lead to
If it works, this could provide a simple, accessible tool for teens in rural areas to manage anxiety on their own.
What could go wrong
This is a very small pilot study (50 teens) testing feasibility, not a proven treatment. The app may not reduce anxiety significantly, and results may not apply to other groups.
