NCT ID NCT07749885
First seen Aug 06, 2026 · Last updated Aug 07, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests a digital emotion regulation program called iTRAC+ for middle school students. The program includes short online modules and teacher-led activities to help students learn skills for managing feelings. Researchers will compare students who receive the program to those who don't, measuring changes in emotion regulation, emotional self-efficacy, and depression symptoms. The goal is to see if this approach can be effectively implemented in schools to support mental health.
