Stress Reduction Clinical Trial
Official title:
The Impact of a Self-help Coping App on Distress Levels in Men Experiencing Infertility
The purpose of this study is to determine if the use of a new app, FertiStrong, is associated with decreased levels of anxiety and depression in men who have infertility or whose partner has infertility.
Individuals who are experiencing infertility report high levels of anxiety and depression. A
recent study (1) documented that both men and women involved in the treatment of infertility
expressed emotional distress. Research on the female partner of an infertile couple documents
that psychological interventions, especially those with a cognitive-behavior therapy (CBT)
focus, are associated with significant decreases in levels of anxiety and depression (2).
Subsequent research has also shown that both members of the infertile couple definitively
underutilize the psychological services offered to them. Thus, new ways to provide
psychological relief to these individuals is needed. This has lead to the development of a
new app, FertiStrong. This app is targeted at men- either men with infertility or men whose
partner has infertility.
Study Requirements:
1. Study participants will be asked to complete an on-line questionnaire.
2. Once completed, the study participant will be randomly assigned to one of two groups.
One group will be provided the mobile app to use for 30 days. The second group will be
provided the app after 30 days.
3. After the 30 day period, each group will be asked to complete a follow-up questionnaire.
Each questionnaire will take approximately 15-20 minutes to compete.
Men who are directly seeking care or whose partners is seeking care at any Fertility Center
of Illinois location are invited to participate.
