Summary

This study tested an online guided self-help program called EMPOWER for medical professionals with mild depression or anxiety. The program teaches problem-solving and acceptance skills through videos and stories. 161 participants were randomly assigned to the program or a control group, and their symptoms were measured right after and one month later.

What could go wrong
