About
The transition to college is a period of elevated risk for a range of mental health conditions. For students with pre-existing mental health diagnoses, the added pressures can exacerbate challenges. Although colleges and universities strive to provide mental health support to their students, the high demand for these services makes it difficult to provide scalable cost-effective solutions. To address these issues, the present study aims to compare the efficacy of three different treatments using a large cohort of 600 students transitioning to college. Interventions were selected based on their potential for generalizability and cost-effectiveness on college campuses. The randomized controlled trial will assign 150 participants to one of four arms: 1) group-based therapy, 2) physical activity program, 3) nature experiences group, or 4) self-monitoring condition as the control group. In addition, biometric data will be collected from all participants using a wearable device to develop algorithmic predictions of mental and physical health functioning. Once recruitment is complete, modeling strategies will be used to evaluate the outcomes and effectiveness of each intervention. The findings of this study will provide evidence as to the benefits of implementing scalable and proactive interventions using technology with the goal of improving well-being and success of new college students.
