Summary

This trial tests whether adding personalized feedback makes an ultra-brief online program more effective for adults with depression and anxiety. The program, called Things You Do, teaches skills to increase healthy actions like meaningful activities, healthy thinking, and social connections. Participants are randomly assigned to receive the program with or without weekly feedback on their engagement in these actions. Researchers will measure changes in healthy actions, depression, anxiety, and life satisfaction.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Things You Do Program, an ultra-brief online cognitive behavioral therapy intervention
What this could lead to
If personalized feedback boosts engagement, this could make a brief online program more effective for easing depression and anxiety symptoms.
What could go wrong
The trial is early and relies on self-reported outcomes. The added feedback may not meaningfully improve results, and the program may not work for everyone.
