Welcome!
Developing a Digital Mental Health Tool for College Students
We are looking for participants who are:
-
Between the ages of 18 and 30,
-
Currently attending college or post-secondary education.
-
Experiencing particular mental health symptoms (i.e., hearing voices or having confusing or distressing thoughts).
Participants will:
-
Complete online surveys (30 minutes) about your mental health symptoms and experiences, as well as your attitudes about mental health conditions, treatments, and digital supports once at the start of the study, and once again after two weeks.
-
Receive access to a brief online mental health support tool (30 minutes) and provide feedback on the program. Participants will be randomly selected to either receive SPARK access at the start of the study period or at the end of the study period.
-
Participants who complete all study procedures will receive $50 in Amazon Gift Cards.
The current study is a single-year project supported by the ALACRITY Center at the University of Washington and the National Institute of Mental Health, and is being conducted by researchers affiliated with the UW BRiTE Center. The goal of the current study is to develop and test a single-session, self-guided digital tool to support the mental health of college students at risk for certain mental health conditions. After receiving college student feedback and input during the development phase of the tool, we are now looking for new participants to test out the finished product to let us know that we're on the right track.
