Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The investigators are evaluating the acceptability and effectiveness of brief online wellness modules. Participants will be randomly assigned to the intervention condition, an active control condition, or a wait-list control condition. The investigators are using a factorial design, such that each participant in the intervention condition will be randomly assigned to receive three of four wellness modules.

The investigators will analyze the intervention's effectiveness as a universal intervention (using the full sample) and a targeted intervention (using the subset of the sample that reported elevated depressive symptoms or anxiety symptoms at baseline).

COMET

Participants receive modules focused on cognitive restructuring, gratitude, behavioral activation and self-compassion. Participants were randomized to receive 3 of the 4 possible modules: behavioral activation, cognitive restructuring, gratitude, and self-compassion.Participants in the intervention condition were randomized to receive descriptions of the four modules at the beginning of the intervention that were phrased to focus on building and improving strengths (positive) or reducing negative emotions and behaviors (negative).

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Common Elements Toolbox- Adult version (COMET-A)

Intervention Type OTHER

COMET includes four different modules that teach participants exercises designed to improve mental health and well-being.

Self-Awareness Control

Participants learn about self-awareness through writing about memories, writing a short argumentative essay, and noticing objects in their surroundings.

Group Type SHAM_COMPARATOR

Self-awareness Control

Intervention Type OTHER

A control condition in which participants learn about self-awareness through writing about memories, writing a short argumentative essay, and noticing objects in their surroundings.

Waitlist

Participants filled out all pre-test and post-test measures without having access to COMET of the active control exercises. Participants in this condition will receive access to COMET at the end of the study.

Group Type NO_INTERVENTION

No interventions assigned to this group
