Cerina-A Pilot Randomized Controlled Trial

The goal of this pilot Randomized Controlled Trial is twofold: 1) To learn about the feasibility and usefulness of a mobile application for generalised anxiety symptoms (Cerina); 2) To test the preliminary effects of Cerina in reducing generalized anxiety symptoms compared to a waitlist-control group among Ulster University students presenting mild to moderate symptoms of Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD) symptoms. The main research questions are: Is the Cerina app usable and feasible among Ulster University students reporting mild to moderate GAD symptoms? Is there an indication of the effectiveness of the Cerina app in reducing GAD symptoms compared to a wait-list control group among Ulster University students? * After the baseline assessment, eligible and consenting participants will be randomized to either intervention or to the wait-list control group. * Those who are allocated to the intervention group will have access to the Cerina app for 6 weeks. * Those who are in the wait-list control group will wait for 6 weeks until the intervention group finishes the intervention for their access. * The wait-list control group will have access to the services offered by the Ulster University Student Wellbeing team. * Participants in both groups will do mid- (at week 3 after their randomization) and post-assessment (At week 6 after their randomization). * All participants will also be invited to the post-assessment feedback interviews once they complete their post-assessments. The purpose is to have more in-depth information on their views of the Cerina app, the User Interface, the clinical content, the potential facilitators, and barriers to using it in daily life.
