About

The objective is to examine the efficacy of computerized interventions for increasing well-being and cognitive functioning. The study will seek to validate emerging online delivery methods of psychiatric assessment and treatment. This will allow us to test the efficacy of this intervention in a larger and more geographically broad sample than is possible through traditional recruitment and treatment, and to do so in a highly cost-effective manner.
