Summary

This study is a randomized controlled trial to test the effectiveness of a mobile app-based program aimed to help individuals with unemployment-related emotional distress return to work.

Detailed description

This study will compare two different approaches to reducing unemployment-related emotional distress. Participants will be involved in the study for a total of 22 weeks. During the first 6 weeks, participants will complete activities relating to either the mobile-app based program or the self-guided job-seeking program. The study team will follow up with participants at 8 weeks after the program is completed and at 16 weeks after the program is completed. Participants will also be asked to complete questionnaires before starting the program, during the program, after they complete the program, and at the follow-up visits. The questionnaires will be about the participant's mood, job seeking behavior, and related emotional experiences.
