Harnessing Mobile Technology to Reduce Mental Health Disorders in College Populations
Description: PROJECT NARRATIVE One in three college students struggles with anxiety, depression, or an eating disorder, but most do not receive treatment. The proposed study will test the impact of a transdiagnostic, low-cost, population-level mobile mental health screening, prevention, and intervention platform for engaging college students in tailored services that address their common mental health problems. We expect that our comprehensive mobile mental health care platform will demonstrate clinical benefit to students, appeal to university stakeholders, minimize barriers to implementation sustainability on campuses, and yield an economic return on investment compared to usual care, which has the potential to improve mental health outcomes for the 20+ million students enrolled in U.S. colleges and universities.
