Efficacy of a video‐viewing intervention of smartphone‐based positive word stimulation on depressive symptoms in individuals with subthreshold depression: Protocol for a randomized controlled trial
Overview
This paper outlines the protocol for a randomized controlled trial evaluating a smartphone-based video intervention called SPSRS, which delivers positive word stimulation to individuals with subthreshold depression. The study involves 400 participants assigned to either the experimental group receiving daily 10-minute videos or a waiting-list control group over five weeks. Primary and secondary outcomes measure changes in depressive symptoms and psychological distress using standardized scales.
