Summary

We are evaluating the effects of an online single-session mental health intervention (the Common Elements Toolbox; COMET). To evaluate COMET, we are conducting a randomized controlled trial with Indian college students. Students will be randomized to the COMET condition or to a wait-list control condition. Primary outcome measures (depressive symptoms, anxiety symptoms, and subjective well-being) will be measures at two weeks post-intervention, four weeks post-intervention, and twelve weeks post-intervention. We will evaluate COMET as a universal intervention (using the full sample) and as a targeted intervention (analyzing those who reported elevated depressive symptoms or anxiety symptoms at baseline).

Conditions
