About the study

We want to understand the impact of a short online single-session programme to improve well-being. Therefore, we are investigating a self-help mental health intervention composed of four distinct modules, all designed to be completed within a single, 60-minute online session.

What will it involve?

If you agree to participate in the study, you will be asked to complete the following research procedures. After filling in some initial questionnaires, you will be randomly allocated to either:
1. Complete the COMET programme (lasting about 60 minutes) and practice the skills that you learn over the next few weeks. You will be asked to fill out online questionnaires (10-15 minutes) at two points in the future: two weeks from now, and four weeks from now.
Or
2. Complete a few extra online questionnaires (lasting about 20-30 minutes), and fill out brief questionnaires (10-15 minutes) two weeks and four weeks later. After filling out the questionnaires in four weeks' time, you will then be able to complete the COMET programme (lasting about 60 minutes). We will ask you to fill out questionnaires again two weeks and four weeks after completing the programme (10-15 minutes).
