Ibobbly mobile health intervention for suicide prevention in Australian Indigenous youth: a pilot randomised controlled trial
Overview
This pilot randomized controlled trial evaluates the ibobbly mobile health application, which delivers acceptance-based therapy to Indigenous youth in remote Australian communities. The study compares immediate app access against a waitlist control, measuring outcomes such as suicidal ideation, depression, psychological distress, and impulsivity over six weeks. Results indicate that while the app significantly reduced depressive symptoms and psychological distress compared to the waitlist, it did not produce significant differences in suicidal ideation or impulsivity relative to the control group.
