Psychoeducation for CMD

Details and patient eligibility

About

The present study aims to determine the effect of presenting psychoeducation emphasizing "growth-mindset," and information on modifiable risk factors (e.g., social contact, physical activity) on engagement with modifiable risk factors. The investigators hypothesize that psychoeducation emphasizing that mental health is malleable will increase the participant's engagement with risk factors outlined in the intervention.
