NCT ID NCT06083987
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether using online tools like videos and resources on Discord could help sexual and gender minority youth (ages 14-19) seek help for depression and anxiety. 81 participants joined groups on Discord with different combinations of tools for 4 weeks. The goal was to see if these tools were easy to use and if they increased intentions to seek help from a counselor or therapist.

Discord-based intervention with curated videos and online resources
What this could lead to
If successful, this could point toward effective ways to encourage LGBTQ+ youth to seek mental health support.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early feasibility study with 81 participants, not a large trial. Results may not apply to all youth, and the intervention may not actually increase help-seeking.
