Optimizing Digital Therapy for Depression and Anxiety in Latinx College Students

This study is looking at ways to improve digital therapy for depression and anxiety, especially for Latinx community college students. It's testing different approaches to peer coaching, specifically how coaches are matched to students (demographic matching) and how much supervision the coaches receive (supervision intensity). The goal is to find out which coaching methods lead to better engagement and results in digital therapy. You might be able to join if you are 18-40 years old, identify as Latinx, are enrolled at East Los Angeles College, and have internet access. The study aims to enroll 240 participants, but its current recruitment status is unclear.
