This study will be using the Maya application (app) for the intervention arm, a mobile cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) program for adolescents and young adults experiencing anxiety symptoms. The Maya app, developed at Weill Cornell, teaches cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) techniques including emotion monitoring, cognitive restructuring, mindfulness, and exposure to help individuals with anxiety.
Healthy volunteers accepted: Yes

Exclusion criteria
Participants will utilize the Maya App for at least 20 minutes per day, 2 days per week, for 6 weeks. Additionally, participants will complete assessments at baseline, 3 months, 6 months, 9 months and 12 months (this includes specimen collections, interviews, and surveys). Participants will also be asked to wear a Fitbit for 12 months.
Time frame: Baseline, up to 12 months
The GAD-7 is a 7 item questionnaire to measure the severity of anxiety symptoms (scores between 0-21). The items measure both psychic anxiety and somatic anxiety, where higher scores, defined by a score range of greater than or equal to 10, indicate a greater presence of symptoms and lower scores, defined by a score range of 0-9, indicate mild to no anxiety symptoms. Change in anxiety ratings between the intervention arm and the no intervention arm.
Time frame: Baseline, up to 12 months
The PHQ-9 is a 9-item scale containing three subscales measuring physical, cognitive, and social concerns regarding depression. Higher scores, defined by a score range of greater than or equal to 10, reflect greater presence of symptoms and lower scores, defined by a score range of 0-9, indicate mild to no depression symptoms. Change in depression ratings between the intervention arm and the no intervention arm.
Time frame: Baseline, up to 12 months
The Spielberger State and Trait Anxiety Inventory is a validated self-reporting instrument used to assess anxiety. The inventory consists of state anxiety, which evaluates how the subject feels currently (transient anxiety) and trait anxiety (anxiety related to personality). The scale consists of 20 questions to determine state and 20 questions for trait anxiety with a 4-point Likert scale, a higher score indicates greater anxiety. Total score for state and trait measures ranges from 20 (no anxiety) to 80 (maximum anxiety). Change in anxiety ratings between the intervention arm and the no intervention arm.
