Summary

This trial will see if an app can improve mental health outcomes for Indigenous youth in Northwestern Ontario while they wait for services.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for Indigenous transitional-aged youth (18-25 years old) in Northwestern Ontario who are on the wait-list for mental health services. Participants must be able to attend an orientation and have access to an iOS device, although a loaner iPhone with the JoyPop app will be provided if needed.
What is being tested?
The study is testing the effectiveness of a mental health app called JoyPop, designed to help with emotion regulation. It's being compared against usual practice while participants await mental health services. The comparison is done through a randomized controlled trial.
What are the potential side effects?
Since this intervention involves using a mobile app for emotional support, there may not be direct side effects like those associated with medications; however, potential indirect effects could include increased screen time or reliance on digital tools for emotional regulation.
