A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This randomized controlled trial compares the Things You Do ultra-brief internet-delivered CBT program with and without personalized feedback about a participant’s prior week of healthy actions. The aim is to see if feedback increases engagement in healthy activities and improves primary mental health outcomes. Participants are adults 18+ who reside in Canada and have internet access, and they are randomized to receive either TYD alone or TYD plus personalized feedback. The study leverages online delivery through the Online Therapy Unit in Regina, with collaboration from Macquarie University. Outcomes will be measured to determine whether personalized feedback enhances the program’s effectiveness compared with the standard ultra-brief intervention.
