Providing Mental Health Precision Treatment

Providing Mental Health Precision Treatment

This research study is being conducted to understand if patients benefit from mobile health interventions while waiting for in-clinic mental health treatments, and to understand which patients receive the most benefit.

Initially, results-reporting was planned for 12-month data. However, following 6-week data collection, the participants received other care, so the decision was made to report on the 6-week data.
