Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
Eligible participants will be randomized into either the ENHANCE program or Wait-List Control (WLC) group. ENHANCE participants will be introduced to 10 evidenced-based principles that have been shown to improve health and well-being outcomes. Participants will be further guided to systematically practice these principles in their daily lives using a small-changes approach. WLC participants will be asked to continue life a usual, and provided some additional health and well-being resources that can be accessed online to support current, ongoing distress, if needed.
Participants will be asked to complete an online survey about their emotional, social, and physical well-being at baseline (or at the start of the study), midway (or 6-weeks into the study), and at post-assessment (or at the end of the study period). At the end of the study period, all control participants will also be offered the full ENHANCE program.
Investigators expect that participants receiving the ENHANCE program will show improvements across all negative (e.g., depression, anxiety) and positive (e.g., life satisfaction, quality of life) variables from baseline to post-study. Investigators further expect there to be immediate positive health and economic outcomes linked to active participation in the ENHANCE program (versus the WLC group). Investigators believe the impacts of this research will include (a) mitigating the risk of a severe onset of mental health problems related to anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress, and suicide, (b) increasing positive mental health and well-being, and (c) increasing physical health in participants across time.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
ENHANCE Treatment Group
The ENHANCE program was tailored to address the current health and well-being challenges faced by individuals living in the COVID-19 pandemic. The contents of each week will focus on a new evidenced-based principle that has been shown in research to decrease negative thinking and emotions, as well as increase positive thinking, emotions, and overall physical and mental health and well-being. Each week participants will focus on the skills and methods of implementing happiness and well-being into their daily routine.
Enduring Happiness and Continued Self-Enhancement (ENHANCE) for COVID-19
ENHANCE is a 12-session program designed to help improve subjective well-being, especially through the challenges of a pandemic. The ENHANCE program introduces and teaches people about the evidence-based principles and skills that have been shown across decades of research to improve overall health and well-being.
Wait-List Control Group
Over the course of the study, participants will be asked to refrain from accessing the ENHANCE program materials to ensure the integrity of the research design. At the end of the study duration, participants will receive the full ENHANCE program.
