Digital therapy shows better results than campus clinics for college students' mental health

Digital therapy apps are more effective than campus clinic referrals for college students with mental health issues. A study found students using digital therapy were seven times more likely to start treatment and reported being symptom-free longer. The app uses cognitive behavioral therapy principles. The research involved over 39,000 students across 26 universities, highlighting digital interventions' potential to address increased demand for mental health services.
