Fundamental Adaptive Skills Training for College Students
This study is testing a new program called Fundamental Adaptive Skills Training (FAST) to help college students build mental health resilience. It's compared against Relaxation and Mindfulness Training (RMT). The study wants to see if FAST is acceptable to students and if it can improve things like sleep quality, physical activity, and reduce anxiety and loneliness. You can join if you are 18 or older, a college student, can use a computer or smartphone, and have a certain score on an emotional well-being questionnaire (PANAS-NA score >= 20). The study aims to enroll 105 students.
- Study design
- This is an interventional study that will randomly assign 100 participants to either the FAST or RMT group. There will also be a pilot phase with 5 undergraduate students.
- What's involved
- You would participate in a single-session intervention, either FAST (approximately 60 minutes) or RMT. You will complete questionnaires at the start, immediately after the intervention, and at week 4.
- Compensation
- Not stated in the trial record.
- Follow-up
- Participants will be followed for four weeks after the intervention.
