Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Intervention group

The experimental arm will receive the online strengths use intervention program over a period of 4 weeks, through an LMS software solution.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Internet-delivered strengths use intervention

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

The online strengths use intervention program follows the theorized five stages of strengths use interventions: (1) preparation and commitment, (2) identification, (3) integration, (4) action, and (5) evaluation. To increase participant engagement and motivation, gamification components are embedded in several stages.

The intervention was previously tested through a feasibility and acceptability trial (NCT05474807).

The entire intervention will be delivered online via an LMS software solution.

Waiting-list control group

The waiting-list control arm will receive the same intervention immediately after the intervention group finishes and will have filled in the post-test outcomes measures.

Group Type OTHER

Waiting-list

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

The waiting-list arm will serve as the control group, filling in only the outcome measure at the same time as the intervention group participants.

After the intervention group finishes participating in the intervention, the waiting-list participants will benefit from the same internet-delivered strengths use program.

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

* Not other than the age of the participants.

Exclusion Criteria

* Lack of internet access during the period of the implementation of the program (prescreened during enrolment).

Controlled variables:
