Article Synopsis
- Health care workers and first responders faced increased mental health risks due to COVID-19, highlighting a need for remote, unguided mental health interventions that are evidence-based and easily accessible during crises.
- This study developed and tested COAST (COVID-19 Anxiety and Stress Resilience Training), an unguided electronic program designed specifically for first responders, focusing on key resilience areas like mindfulness and positive thinking.
- Out of 702 first responders contacted, only 7% engaged with the program, showing that factors like testing positive for COVID-19 or being quarantined increased participation, while user engagement was unaffected by demographic or baseline psychological factors.
