Brief Summary

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

With the increasing number of adolescents and young adults (AYA) experiencing depression and anxiety, paired with the lack of time, access, and funding towards social services, AYA need a mental health intervention that is affordable and easily accessible. A single-session intervention (SSI), Project Personality, was developed to improve youth growth mindset and reduce symptoms of internalizing problems, such as anxiety and depression. The purpose of this pilot study is to determine the feasibility of an SSI in adolescents and young adults at a reproductive community health center.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The mental health of adolescents and young adults (AYA) has greatly been impacted since the beginning of the pandemic. With the increasing number of AYA experiencing depression and anxiety, paired with the lack of time, access, and funding towards social services, AYA need a mental health intervention that is affordable and easily accessible. A single-session intervention (SSI) focused on cultivating an AYA's growth mindset has potential to overcome common barriers to care, such as cost, transportation and stigma related to psychological treatment. Furthermore, research shows having a fixed mindset correlate and can predict higher depressive and anxiety symptoms. Teaching adolescents about growth mindsets could decrease the risk of internalizing symptoms. The SSI, Project Personality, was developed to improve youth growth mindset and reduce symptoms of internalizing problems, such as anxiety and depression. The purpose of this pilot study is to determine the feasibility of an SSI in adolescents and young adults at a reproductive community health center.

Adolescent/Young Adult Self-Administered Web-Based Single-Session Intervention

Project Personality is a 30- minute, self-administered, web-based single-session intervention that was developed to help adolescents understand what growth mindsets are and provide them with information about self-changing strategies and coping skills (Schleider \& Weisz, 2019). Participants learn about how the brain functions (neuroplasticity), how personality is fluid, and read testimonials from other adolescents about how growth mindsets helped them in school and in their personal lives. Participants also have the opportunity to write notes to other youth, providing them with the advantages of using growth mindsets.
