Comparison Between Browser- and App-Based Versions of a Program for Self-Management of Mild to Moderate Depression: Log Data Analysis of a Convenience Sample
Overview
This paper analyzes log data from a convenience sample to compare adherence and symptom reduction between browser-based and app-based versions of the iFightDepression program for mild to moderate depression. The study examines whether the mobile app's enhanced usability leads to different usage patterns or clinical outcomes compared to the web tool over several weeks. It is intended for researchers or clinicians interested in digital mental health implementation and comparative effectiveness.
