About this trial

The present study seeks to develop, refine, and test a novel psychological treatment for boosting mental health resilience among college students. This Fundamental Adaptive Skills Training (FAST) will be evaluated in a randomized controlled trial. We will seek to recruit 5 undergraduate students as participants for a pilot phase and 100 undergraduate students for a randomized controlled trial. The primary questions we are seeking to answer in this trial are:

Do participants rate the FAST intervention as acceptable? Does FAST improve sleep quality, physical activity, anxiety sensitivity, loneliness, and social isolation for college students?

Participants will:

Receive the active FAST or a placebo control Relaxation and Mindfulness Training (RMT) and will complete measures at baseline, week 2, and week 4.
