Brief Summary

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

A digital problem solving tool was tailored to people in the general public with practical or emotional problems during COVID-19. Content analysis were used to account for the types of problems participants used the tool to solve. Participants were randomized to one of two versions of the problem solving tool, a simple and a more advanced graphical interface. These versions were compared on participant-rated usability, credibility and the level of actual interaction with the tool.
