Healthy Campus Trial: a multiphase optimization strategy (MOST) fully factorial trial to optimize the smartphone cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) app for mental health promotion among university students: study protocol for a randomized controlled trial
Overview
This study protocol outlines a randomized controlled trial using multiphase optimization strategy to identify the most effective components of a smartphone-based cognitive behavioral therapy app for university students with elevated distress. The research examines five specific CBT techniques—self-monitoring, cognitive restructuring, behavioral activation, assertion training, and problem solving—to determine their individual efficacy and interactions. The primary outcome measures changes in depression symptoms over eight weeks, aiming to optimize the digital intervention's efficiency and accessibility for this population.
