How BetterYou Reduced Depression by Over 30%

The Set-Up

Each of the 250 participants were  randomly
assigned to one of four trial groups.

The Intervention

Participants were asked to use the assigned digital apps for a period of 10-12 weeks, depending on their group assignment. Participants were encouraged to use the apps daily and received reminders if necessary.

The Results

Participants who received only the BetterYou intervention during the trial experienced a 32.4% reduction (measured through PHQ-9*) in their Depression Index by the trial’s end.

*The PHQ-9 (Patient Health Questionnaire-9) is a multipurpose instrument for screening, diagnosing, monitoring and measuring the severity of depression.
