Overview

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

This randomized controlled trial evaluates the feasibility and preliminary efficacy of Woebot, a fully automated conversational agent delivering CBT-based self-help content to young adults with anxiety and depression symptoms. The study compares symptom reduction in participants using the app against an information-only control group over a two-week period. Results indicate that users of the conversational agent experienced significant reductions in depression symptoms compared to the control group.
