Mobile Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Medical & Graduate Students

Status Recruiting

Clinical Trial Summary

The study aims to assess and compare clinician-delivered cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) supplemented with "MAYA", a mobile cognitive behavioral therapy app program to clinician-delivered cognitive behavioral therapy alone. The experimental group will be asked to use the mobile application at least two times per week for six weeks, for at least 20 minutes on each of the two days in addition to the clinician-delivered CBT. Participants will complete a weekly self-report assessment battery designed to assess anxiety and mood symptoms. The investigators think that clinician-delivered CBT supplemented with "MAYA" will improve more effective at improving symptoms of anxiety and depression than clinician-delivered CBT alone.

Clinical Trial Description

Growing evidence suggests a need for anxiety and depression treatments that can be disseminated easily to young adults. Many do not seek out treatment for reasons including lack of availability and high cost. There is a growing need for accessible, affordable, research-supported treatments designed to increase the practice of skills and therefore improve treatment outcomes. Graduate students use mobile devices frequently; thus, mobile app-based interventions may be particularly appealing to individuals in this age range with anxiety or depression who are unable to access more traditional psychotherapy administered in person by a therapist. The study aims to compare the efficacy and feasibility of clinician-delivered cognitive behavior therapy supplemented with the mobile app program to clinician- delivered cognitive behavioral therapy alone. Young adults with anxiety and/or depression will be randomized to clinician-delivered CBT (active control group) or to the clinician CBT + mobile app (intervention group). In the active control group, participants will participate in weekly clinician-delivered Cognitive Behavior Therapy. In the intervention group, participants will participate in weekly clinician-delivered Cognitive Behavior Therapy and use a mobile application for at least 20 minutes two times per week for six weeks. ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
