RCT for Latina Mental Health Using Web-Based Apps (NCT06874790)

Randomized Controlled Trial of a Choice-driven, Interactive, Storytelling Web-based App to Investigate Mental Health Treatment Initiation Among Symptomatic Latinas

🟒 Recruiting Observational / Diagnostic 🧠 Behavioral & Psychological Program Sponsor: University of California, Los Angeles

🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)

This study compares a choice-driven, interactive, evidence-informed storytelling web-based app intervention with links to resources and treatment (Tx) recommendations (made by a character via her blog) and Tx locator, to a web-based app with links to publicly available informational internet videos, MH resources, and a treatment locator for at least moderately anxious/depressed untreated English and Spanish speaking Latinas to determine if a story-based, character-driven approach is more effective for catalyzing mental health treatment initiation.
