Who is the study for?
This trial is for first-year college students at the University of Michigan, either Ann Arbor or Flint campuses. It's aimed at those who have mild-to-moderate depressive symptoms but are not currently receiving professional mental health services.

The study is testing how surveys, personalized feedback reports, and supportive text messages can help students manage stress. Participants will be randomly placed into an 'assessment only' group or an 'intervention' group that receives these tools.
