We are recruiting for a research study at USU that aims to test a new six-session mental health program called ACT Guide for Chronic Health Conditions. If you are eligible and choose to participate, we will ask you to complete a brief screening survey and baseline survey. You will then be randomly assigned to either the treatment condition in which you will work on the ACT Guide program over the next 6 weeks, or to a waitlist condition in which you will be provided with the ACT Guide program after a period of 10 weeks. You will then complete a post-test survey (6 weeks after baseline) and a follow-up survey (10 weeks after baseline).
If you choose to participate, you will receive a $5 Amazon gift card after completing the baseline survey and program registration, another $15 Amazon gift card after completing the post-test survey, and another $30 Amazon gift card for the follow-up survey.
Each survey will take approximately 30-45 minutes to complete. Each session of the ACT Guide program will take approximately 30-40 minutes to complete, and we recommend doing one session per week. Thus, it will take 3-4 hours total to complete all 6 sessions over a 6-week period.
In order to be eligible you must:
