Summary
The goal of this randomized controlled trial is to test for the effectiveness of Wysa's Worry computerized cognitive behaviour therapy (cCBT) program (a digital mental health intervention) in comparison to a digital app that offers psychoeducation to patients who have mild to moderate symptoms of anxiety.
Detailed description
People dealing with worry can receive augmented support from digital mental health interventions. The intervention being tested in this study is Wysa's Worry cCBT program. Its outcomes will be compared to a randomized, controlled arm that offers psychoeducation. For the purpose of this study participants will be recruited through different online channels and will be randomly assigned to either the intervention or control group.
