Group I: W-GenZD Mobile Application GroupExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Participants assigned to the W-GenZD mobile application group will be asked to download and use the W-GenZD mobile application that will provide information and tools through a chatbot (a computer program designed to communicate with users). Participants will be invited to use the mobile application as often as they like during the 4-week treatment period - we will encourage 5 to 10 minutes of daily use.
