CYOA App Intervention for Social Media Use in Adolescents With Depression (CYOA)
Choose Your Own Adventure: A Novel Intervention to Regulate Social Media Use in Adolescents With Depression
This study will develop and test Choose Your Own Adventure, a personalized app-based intervention designed to help adolescents with depression regulate social media use.
Adolescents ages 13 to 17 years with major depressive disorder and daily TikTok use will be randomized to either the CYOA app intervention or no intervention. The CYOA app is designed to detect individualized patterns of problematic social media use and offer personalized options to disrupt "runaway train" social media use.
The study will assess feasibility, acceptability, preliminary effects on social media use and mood, and potential mechanisms including social media self-control failure. Participants will complete baseline, post-intervention, and 3-month follow-up assessments.

詳細な説明
Choose Your Own Adventure is a pilot randomized controlled clinical trial testing a personalized app-based intervention to regulate social media use in adolescents with depression.
The study will enroll 60 adolescents ages 13 to 17 years with major depressive disorder. Participants will be randomized 1:1 to the CYOA app intervention or no intervention. The intervention is designed to promote adolescent agency rather than force discontinuation of social media use. Adolescents assigned to CYOA will identify situations that may be harmful to their well-being and select preferred options for what to do when those situations arise.
The app will sense and characterize social media content and engagement patterns. When it detects a predefined "runaway train" social media use pattern, it will offer personalized options based on the adolescent's plan. Options may include pausing after a specified time or number of videos, modifying sensory intensity, engaging in a mindfulness activity, or editing the feed to remove topics the adolescent identifies as problematic.
Participants in both groups will download the study app and use it for 2 weeks. Adolescents will complete ecological momentary assessment prompts twice daily during the 2-week period. Baseline, post-intervention, and 3-month follow-up assessments will evaluate depression symptoms, anxiety, well-being, social connectedness, sleep, physical activity, social media self-control failure, and social media use patterns.
The main goals are to assess feasibility, acceptability, preliminary impact, and potential mechanisms of the CYOA intervention compared with no intervention.

実験的:Choose Your Own Adventure App
Adolescents randomized to this arm will use the CYOA app for 2 weeks. The app is designed to detect individualized social media use patterns and offer personalized options to disrupt problematic "runaway train" social media use. |
The CYOA app is a personalized social media self-regulation intervention for adolescents with depression. Adolescents identify social media situations that may be harmful to their well-being and select preferred options for responding when those situations arise. When the app detects a "runaway train" social media use pattern based on predefined thresholds, it offers personalized options such as pausing use, modifying sensory intensity, engaging in mindfulness, or editing the feed to remove problematic content.

介入なし:No Intervention
Adolescents randomized to this arm will use social media as much or as little as preferred during the 2-week study period. They will still use the study app for data collection and complete the same study assessments as the intervention group. |

|
CYOA App Use During Intervention Period
時間枠:During the 2-week intervention period
|
Feasibility will be assessed by the number and proportion of days, out of 14 days, that adolescents assigned to the CYOA app use the intervention. The feasibility target is use of the app on at least 8 of 14 days. |
During the 2-week intervention period
|
|
Acceptability of the CYOA App
時間枠:Post-intervention visit, after the 2-week intervention period
|
Acceptability will be assessed using adapted Treatment Acceptability/Adherence Scale ratings with adolescents assigned to CYOA. Total score ranges from 9 to 63; higher scores indicate greater treatment acceptability/adherence. Create a separate outcome for qualitative interviews only if they are intended to be reported as an outcome, with a defined reporting measure. |
