Summary
This study tests whether the Landing Place mental health app can improve well-being in college students. 160 Penn State Behrend students will be randomly assigned to either use the app daily for 4 weeks or not use it at all. The app includes mindfulness exercises, mood tracking, and goal setting. Researchers will measure changes in attention, mental health symptoms, and quality of life.
