Study Background
Depression is on the rise. We want to help.
The STAND-MDD study is inviting teens and young adults (ages 13-21) to participate in a virtual research study evaluating a self-guided mental health mobile app.
Participants would receive either the investigational app for depression, or an alternative app without therapeutic content for 5 weeks. All participants would complete a couple of questionnaires during these 5 weeks, and participate in a series of virtual visits with a study clinician in the weeks and months following their use of the app. There is just one virtual visit required to get your participation started. Your participation would last a total of about 9 to 10 hours over the course of 7 months, and that includes the time you’d spend on your own using the app.
Your participation in this study may help researchers improve treatment approaches for depression. Advance research today and join our compensated study!
