Overview

This is a study that aims to test a coping skills intervention delivered via brief animated videos for Chinese and Chinese American college students.

We are interested in seeing whether a brief video-based Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills training intervention that incorporates Western psychotherapy components and Eastern philosophies would be perceived as relevant and useful for this culturally unique yet diverse group. During the study, participants will (1) complete a 20-min online baseline questionnaire; (2) complete a brief survey each day using a phone App for up to four weeks; and may (3) receive a video each day during the intervention.
