Summary

This trial will study if providing Indigenous youth in NW Ontario with an emotion-regulating app while they wait for mental health services can help reduce distress and improve outcomes.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for Indigenous youth aged 12-17 in Northwestern Ontario who are on the wait-list for mental health services at Dilico Anishinabek Family Care. Participants must be able to attend an orientation and need access to an iOS device, which can be provided.
What is being tested?
The trial is testing a mobile app called JoyPop, designed to help with emotion regulation, against usual practices while waiting for mental health services. It's a two-arm randomized controlled trial assessing the app's effectiveness.
What are the potential side effects?
Since this intervention involves using a mental health app, there may not be traditional side effects; however, potential issues could include increased screen time or reliance on the app for emotional support.
