ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying the JoyPop mobile app, which is designed to help post-secondary students manage their emotions better and improve their mental health. Many students today are dealing with high levels of stress, anxiety, and depression, and this trial aims to see if the JoyPop app can make a positive difference in their lives. The study will compare students using the app to those who are not using it, looking at how their emotional regulation and overall mental well-being change over time.

To participate in this trial, you need to be a post-secondary student between the ages of 18 and 25 who can read and speak English. You’ll also need to attend a short orientation session, and if you don’t have an iPhone or iPad, the trial may provide you with a refurbished device just for this study. Participants can expect to use the app and share their experiences, helping researchers understand how useful it is for managing emotions and improving mental health. This could also lead to insights on reducing the need for other health services, making it an important opportunity for students looking for support.
