Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the effectiveness of three different self-help apps aimed at improving mental wellbeing among young people, specifically comparing a personalised emotional competence app, a cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) app, and a self-monitoring app.
- Conducted as a randomised controlled trial across four countries, the research involved 2532 young participants aged 16-22 without major depression, who were monitored for 12 months to assess changes in mental wellbeing.
