The Effects of the PsyPills App on Emotion Regulation and Risk Behaviors in Emerging Adults: A Randomized Clinical Trial
This trial tests a smartphone app called PsyPills, which offers short thinking exercises based on a form of talk therapy. The goal is to help young adults manage strong emotions and reduce risky behaviors. It is compared with a mood-tracking app. The phase is not applicable, meaning this is a behavioral study, not a drug trial, and the app is not proven.
You may qualify if
- High emotional regulation difficulties, but not severe (DERS total score 88-105)
- At least one risky behavior with a frequency ≥ 2 on the RBQ Frequency Scale
- Access to an Android or iOS smartphone
You're excluded if
- Diagnosed psychiatric disorders
- Suicide risk (score ≥ 7 on the Suicidal Behaviors Questionnaire-Revised, SBQ-R)
