Brief Summary

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

The purpose of this study was to examine whether an app- and mentor-based program reduced anxiety among individuals reporting difficulties with anxiety.

For the intervention group, this study involved completing an 8-week program focused on helping participants reach their personality goals. The program involved app-based games, journaling, and completing behavioral challenges. Participants engaged with the study app for approximately 15 minutes per day and spoke with a study mentor weekly for 1 hour. Participants were asked to complete surveys prior to and after the program. The pre-program survey lasted approximately 1 hour, and the post-program survey lasted approximately 30 minutes.

For the control group, this study involved completing surveys. Participants were asked to complete surveys 8 weeks apart. The first batch of surveys lasted approximately 1 hour, and the follow-up surveys lasted approximately 30 minutes.
