United States41 participantsStarted 2023-05-01

Plain-language summary

With the increasing number of adolescents and young adults (AYA) experiencing depression and anxiety, paired with the lack of time, access, and funding towards social services, AYA need a mental health intervention that is affordable and easily accessible. A single-session intervention (SSI), Project Personality, was developed to improve youth growth mindset and reduce symptoms of internalizing problems, such as anxiety and depression. The purpose of this pilot study is to determine the feasibility of an SSI in adolescents and young adults at a reproductive community health center.
