Summary

This study aims to examine different ways of motivating people to make use of Maya, a mobile cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) program for adolescents and young adults experiencing anxiety symptoms, and to assess whether social supports are as efficacious, or more efficacious, than other non-monetary incentives. Subjects will use the Maya app for at least 20 minutes per day, 2 days per week, for 6 weeks. Assessments will include a weekly check in with a member of the research team, questionnaires, and an optional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) recording.

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Maya mobile app

The Maya app teaches cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) techniques including emotion monitoring, cognitive restructuring, mindfulness, and exposure to help individuals with anxiety.

Social Support

Participants earn points and badges for completing sessions, homework, and skills on time and receive post session feedback via text message. Participants can identify a person they know to receive updates about their progress and support them throughout their time in the program. Participants will not be required to choose a person they know to receive updates about their use of the program; instead, they can choose to have a member of the study team serve as their social support if they are assigned to this condition.

BEHAVIORAL

Gain Framed

Participants earn points and badges for completing sessions, homework, and skills on time and receive post session feedback via text message.

BEHAVIORAL
