Official title

Choose Your Own Adventure: A Novel Intervention to Regulate Social Media Use in Adolescents With Depression

Brief summary

Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.

This study will develop and test Choose Your Own Adventure, a personalized app-based intervention designed to help adolescents with depression regulate social media use. Adolescents ages 13 to 17 years with major depressive disorder and daily TikTok use will be randomized to either the CYOA app intervention or no intervention. The CYOA app is designed to detect individualized patterns of problematic social media use and offer personalized options to disrupt "runaway train" social media use. The study will assess feasibility, acceptability, preliminary effects on social media use and mood, and potential mechanisms including social media self-control failure. Participants will complete baseline, post-intervention, and 3-month follow-up assessments.
