The purpose of this study is to test the effectiveness and usability of a computer-based treatment for mood and anxiety relevant risk factors. The target of the treatment is related to cognitive stress, which has been shown to be associated with several negative mental health outcomes such as suicidal ideation, substance use disorders, and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder.

Detailed Description
