About this trial
The primary goal of this study is to demonstrate that engaging with "offscreen" physical materials that focus on teaching and practicing Cognitive Behavioral Therapy-based skills alongside a digital emotional regulation intervention results in greater symptom improvement in kids than engaging with the digital intervention alone.
Participants are children who are using Mightier a video-game based heart rate biofeedback intervention used to build emotion regulation. Caregivers will be asked to complete a short survey prior to their child's first play and then complete that survey at 12 weeks post baseline.
The pre-post self-report design, combined with analyses accounting for engagement with offscreen materials will allow the investigators to observe changes during Mightier use and relate those changes to type of program engagement. (edited)
