Overview

AI-generated summary, not a substitute for reading the source.

This protocol outlines a feasibility randomized controlled trial evaluating the IonaFFV smartphone app for managing low mood and worry in female armed forces veterans in Great Britain. The study aims to assess methodological uncertainties, acceptability, and engagement by comparing the active app against a sham control over a six-week period. Eligible participants complete screening assessments and outcome measures at baseline, post-intervention, and four weeks later, with data collection currently ongoing.
