DMHI for At-Risk College Students
User-Centered Design of a Single-Module Digital Mental Health Intervention for College Students at Risk for Psychosis
Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 17 Dec 2025
Brief summary (registry, in English)
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if a single-session digital intervention (SPARK Coping) is acceptable, usable, and demonstrates a preliminary signal of efficacy in reducing symptom-related distress and increasing positive treatment-seeking attitudes among college students reporting subthreshold symptoms associated with risk for psychosis. Research questions inclue: * Does SPARK Coping reduce symptom-related distress and increase positive treatment seeking attitudes (primary outcomes) relative to a waitlist control condition? * Does SPARK Coping increase adaptive coping and reduce internalized stigma (primary targets) relative to a waitlist control condition? Researchers will compare provision of SPARK Coping to a waitlist control condition and collect data from participants on each of the variables described above. Participants will: * Complete questionnaires and surveys remotely at the start of the study and two weeks later * Be offered access to the SPARK Coping intervention either after completion of their baseline assessment (intervention arm) or after two weeks (waitlist control arm).
