Creating a Digital Tool to Support Teen Mental Health

In this study, we want to learn how teens handle stress, deal with feelings of depression, and manage habits like eating, exercise, and sleep. We will use what we learn to make a Digital App that helps teens struggling with these challenges.


Why this Research Matters

If you join this study, there are 3 parts. First, we will call you on the phone to ask you some basic questions. Second, you will have a screening visit where we explain the study in more detail and ask you questions about your mental health and any experience going to therapy. This visit can take place on Zoom or in person at Children's Hospital Colorado. The third part is the focus group. This will take place online and last for about 1.5 hours. We will ask you about your thoughts on mental health and coping strategies. If you are a teen, you will be in a group with just other teens. Health care professionals and caregivers will be in a separate focus group. You will get a $75 gift card if you complete this study.


Who can Participate

All Ages

You may be able to join this study if you are a teen between 12 and 17 years old. You must be in good general health and sometimes feel stressed or depressed. You can also join this study if you are a health care professional that works with teens.
