Implementation of Project YES in Ambulatory Adolescent & Young Adult Medicine

Implementation of Digital Brief, Scalable Single Session Interventions in Specialty Adolescent Care

This study tests a suite of single-session intervention (SSI) targeting risk factors for depression and eating disorders among adolescents and young adults. Youth ages 13-25 who screen positive for depression or anxiety as a part of routine care will be offered one of three digital SSIs. Participants will complete questionnaires before the intervention, immediately after the intervention, and 3-months after completing the intervention so that the study team can investigate if Project YES leads to reductions in depression, anxiety, as well as eating disorder symptoms.
