Preliminary Testing and Development of a Short Digital Intervention for Patients on Waiting Lists for Psychological Treatment
Sponsor: University of Oslo
Summary
The goal of this randomized pilot feasibility trial is to assess the feasibility and further develop a single-session digital mental health intervention for patients on waiting lists for psychological treatment. The main aims are: 1. To evaluate the feasibility and acceptability of the study procedures and the digital single-session intervention. 2. To gather quantitative and qualitative feedback on the intervention to inform further development. 3. To collect preliminary data to refine the analysis plan for a main trial. Researchers will compare two different versions of the intervention (one longer and one shorter) with two control conditions (one active and one passive) to see if the study is feasible. Participants will be randomized to one of the four conditions, do a short digital mental health intervention and fill out 4 questionnaires across a 5 week period.

Participants will learn and reflect on worrying and rumination behavior and how it impacts their life. The program only lasts for one session and is not module based. The intervention has been designed by the research team and is under development. This intervention is nested within Digital therapy program (long).

Mental health advice
ABC is a public health campaign about building and strengthening mental health for the entire population. The ABC messages: Do something active, do something together, and do something meaningful are meant to motivate people, municipalities, and organizations to take action to strengthen mental health. A description of the ABC framework is provided online by The Norwegian Directorate of Health and is implemented digitally as a set of advice ("ABC for god psykisk helse").
