A digitally embedded intervention to enhance psychological decentering and reduce depression severity in at-risk adolescents: a randomised controlled trial of the ‘One Step Back’ programme
Overview
This randomized controlled trial evaluates 'One Step Back,' a five-week digital intervention designed to enhance psychological decentering in at-risk adolescents. The study compares the program against an active control group across outcomes including depression severity, anxiety, and well-being. Results indicate that participants in the decentering training reported significant improvements in these measures compared to the control group.
