| personalized 2-week mobile wellbeing intervention | Behavioral | For the study, 27 versions of a 2-week mobile wellbeing intervention are created. These versions vary on content (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, meaning, positive psychology), feedback (text, text with avatar, pre-recorded video) and design (non-gamified, competitively gamified, storyline gamified). At baseline, participants preview all variations and indicate their expected engagement. Participants in the personalized condition will receive the optimal combination of content, feedback and design, based on their baseline engagement scores. Each version of the intervention consists of a module per day. Each module contains psychoeducation and exercises based on content of the version. Moreover, each module contains pre-specified general feedback and supportive messages. |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Change from baseline in wellbeing, measured with the Mental Health Continuum Short Form, at 3 weeks. | Wellbeing will be measured in an online survey, using the Mental Health Continuum Short Form. This validated scale consists of 14 items. The scale's total scores range from 14 to 84, with higher scores indicating higher wellbeing and thus better outcomes. | baseline, 3 weeks |
| Change from baseline in depressive symptoms, measured with the Patient Health Questionnaire-9, at 3 weeks. | Depressive symptoms will be measured in an online survey, using the Patient Health Questionnaire-9. This validated scale consists of 9 items. The scale's total scores range from 0 to 27, with higher scores indicating higher depressive symptoms and thus worse outcomes. | baseline, 3 weeks |
| Change from baseline in anxiety symptoms, measured with the Generalized Anxiety Disorder 7-item scale, at 3 weeks. | Depressive symptoms will be measured in an online survey, using the Generalized Anxiety Disorder 7-item scale. This validated scale consists of 6 items. The scale's total scores range from 0 to 21, with higher scores indicating higher anxiety symptoms and thus worse outcomes. | baseline, 3 weeks |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Adherence | Number of modules completed | after 3 weeks |
| Engagement, measured with the TWente Engagement with Ehealth Technologies Scale. | Engagement will be measured within the intervention, with the validated TWente Engagement with Ehealth Technologies Scale. This is a 9 item scale, with a total score ranging from 0 to 36, with higher scores indicating higher engagement and thus better outcomes. |
