E-Manage: A Brief mHelath Intervention for University Students

This study is a two-part transdiagnostic psychological intervention aimed to help people respond to negative emotion and emotional distress in more adaptive ways using a technology called "ecological momentary intervention" (or EMI) that delivers intervention content using a smartphone app. Participants in this study will be Rutgers students recruited through-or currently affiliated with - Counseling, Alcohol and Other Drug Assistance Program & Psychiatric Services (CAPS) at Rutgers. Participants will first attend either one-on-one or group telehealth therapy sessions/workshops, where they will learn the therapeutic skills that are part of the study. Then, they will complete up to 8 weeks of smartphone monitoring that involves assessments and opportunities to practice the skills learned in therapy.
