About
The purpose of this study is to determine if the use of a new app, FertiStrong, is associated with decreased levels of anxiety and depression in men who have infertility or whose partner has infertility.
Full description
Individuals who are experiencing infertility report high levels of anxiety and depression. A recent study (1) documented that both men and women involved in the treatment of infertility expressed emotional distress. Research on the female partner of an infertile couple documents that psychological interventions, especially those with a cognitive-behavior therapy (CBT) focus, are associated with significant decreases in levels of anxiety and depression (2). Subsequent research has also shown that both members of the infertile couple definitively underutilize the psychological services offered to them. Thus, new ways to provide psychological relief to these individuals is needed. This has lead to the development of a new app, FertiStrong. This app is targeted at men- either men with infertility or men whose partner has infertility.
Study Requirements:
