Behavioral Study to Predict the Efficacy of a Self-Help Tool
Sponsor: Trustees of Princeton University
Summary
The study aims to examine whether the investigators can predict, on the level of individual participants who have symptoms of depression, who will benefit more from self-help tools based on principles of behavioral activation vs. cognitive restructuring, in terms of a greater decrease of self-reported symptoms. The investigators use a combination of self-reported clinical information and behavior on learning and decision-making tasks to predict change in symptom scores.
