Mobile Cognitive Behavior Therapy Targeting Anxiety Disorders

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

This study aims to examine different ways of motivating people to make use of Maya, a mobile cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) program for adolescents and young adults experiencing anxiety symptoms, and to assess whether social supports are as efficacious, or more efficacious, than other non-monetary incentives. Subjects will use the Maya app for at least 20 minutes per day, 2 days per week, for 6 weeks. Assessments will include a weekly check in with a member of the research team, questionnaires, and an optional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) recording.

Clinical Trial Description

There is a growing need for easily accessed anxiety treatments designed for young adults. Mobile app-based interventions can be disseminated more broadly than traditional psychosocial interventions and may be particularly appealing to this age group, which uses mobile devices frequently. Mobile apps can also collect real-time data about patient symptom severity and provide tailored, in-the-moment coping strategies. This study aims to examine different ways of motivating people to make use of Maya, a mobile cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) app for adolescents and young adults experiencing anxiety symptoms, and to assess whether social supports are as efficacious, or more efficacious, than other non-monetary incentives. Young adults with anxiety will be randomized to one of three conditions: a social support condition, a gain-framed condition in which participants can earn "points" for completing their assigned sessions, and a loss-framed condition in which participants lose "points" for failing to complete their assigned sessions. Subjects will use the Maya app for at least 20 minutes per day, 2 days per week, for 6 weeks and will complete assessments at baseline, week 3, week 6 (end of treatment), and a follow-up assessment at week 12. Subjects may also choose to complete an optional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) recording at the baseline and end of treatment (week 6). ;
