| Label | Type | Description | Intervention Names |
|---|---|---|---|
| WB-LIFE | Experimental |

| Name | Type | Description | Arm Group Labels | Other Names |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| WB-LIFE | Device | WB-LIFE is a mobile application program grounded in validated psychotherapies (including cognitive behavioral therapy, interpersonal, and dialectical behavioral therapy), that enlists the relational agent Woebot to guide users in managing their mood. The user experience is driven by artificial intelligence and centers around mood tracking, evidence-based tools, and goal-oriented, tailored conversations. |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| App engagement metrics | Data tracking mobile application use, including conversational interactions with Woebot and patterns of engagement over time, will be collected throughout the duration of treatment (8-weeks). | Baseline to Post-intervention at Week 8 |
| Client Satisfaction Questionnaire (CSQ-8) | An 8-item measure used to assess client's satisfaction with treatment.Total scores range from 8-32, with high scores indicating greater satisfaction with the treatment. | Post-intervention at Week 8 |
| Working Alliance Inventory (WAI) | Measure of working alliance. A measure of therapeutic alliance that assesses three key aspects of the therapeutic alliance: (a) agreement on the tasks of therapy, (b) agreement on the goals of therapy and (c) development of an affective bond. Total scores range from 12-60, with higher scores indicating greater alliance. The present study utilized the validated 12-item Short-Revised version (WAI-SR) with minor changes to language, replacing "therapist" with "Woebot". | Change from Day 3 to Mid-Intervention at Week 4; change from Day 3 to Post-intervention at Week 8; change from Mid-Intervention at Week 4 to Post-intervention at Week 8 |
| Mental Health Self-Efficacy Scale (MHSES) | Six items assess confidence in managing stress, depression, and anxiety, and are scored on a 10 point Likert scale (from 1, not at all confident to 10, very confident). Ratings across the 6 items are summed for an overall measure of MHSES (range 10 to 60), with higher scores indicating more self-efficacy. This measure is included as a way to capture an individual's confidence that they can successfully manage their mental health concerns. | Change from Baseline to Mid-Intervention at Week 4; change from Baseline to Post-intervention at Week 8; change from Mid-Intervention at Week 4 to Post-intervention at Week 8 |
| Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System Global Health (PROMIS) |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Perceived Barriers to Care (PBC) | The PBC is a 30-item assesses perceived barriers to access mental health care on a scale of 1= not at all to 5 = impossible, including Stigma, Lack of motivation, Emotional concerns, Negative evaluations of therapy, Misfit of therapy to needs, Time constraints, Participation restriction, Availability of Services, and Cost. | Day 3 of Intervention |

Ten items used to assess five core domains of health (physical function, pain, fatigue, emotional distress, and social). Total scores range from 5-50, where greater scores represent the best health and functioning. |

| Patient Health Questionnaire | Measure of depression. An 8-item self-report questionnaire where total scores range from 0 to 24, with higher scores indicating greater levels of depression | Change from Baseline to Mid-Intervention at Week 4; change from Baseline to Post-intervention at Week 8; change from Mid-Intervention at Week 4 to Post-intervention at Week 8 |
| Generalized Anxiety Disorder Questionnaire | Measure of anxiety. A 7-item brief self-report questionnaire, where total score range is between 0-21, with higher scores indicate greater levels of anxiety. | Change from Baseline to Mid-Intervention at Week 4; change from Baseline to Post-intervention at Week 8; change from Mid-Intervention at Week 4 to Post-intervention at Week 8 |
| Brief Resilience Questionnaire (BRS) | The BRS is a measure used to assess a person's ability to bounce back or recover after experiencing a stressor. Total scores range from 1 (low resilience) to 5 (high resilience). | Change from Baseline to Mid-Intervention at Week 4; change from Baseline to Post-intervention at Week 8; change from Mid-Intervention at Week 4 to Post-intervention at Week 8 |
