To address this need, the PsyGes project developed the Youngsters Upbringing Mental Health Information and Counselling App (YOUCA), a smartphone app that provides parents with information, practical guidance, daily tips, communication strategies, a mental health glossary, and a directory of support services.\n\nThis study aims to evaluate the usability and potential effectiveness of YOUCA in improving parenting skills and parental self-efficacy (confidence in supporting a child). In this mixed-methods randomized waitlist-controlled pilot study, approximately 25 parents of children with mental health difficulties will participate. Participants will use the app over a four-week period and complete questionnaires before and after use. App usability and satisfaction will also be assessed. Interviews with parents and a focus group with psychosocial experts will provide additional feedback to support further app development and future larger-scale evaluation.",[28,29,30],"Mental Health Help-Seeking","Mental Health Difficulties","Mental Health and General Well-being",[32,33,34,35,36,37],"Parenting Skills","Parental Self-Efficacy","Digital Mental Health","Pilot Study","Usability","Child and Adolescent Mental Health","NOT_YET_RECRUITING","2026-08-10",{"date":41,"type":42},"2026-08-14","ACTUAL",{"date":44,"type":22},"2026-08",{"date":46,"type":22},"2026-12",{"name":48,"class":49},"FH Campus Wien, University of Applied Sciences","OTHER",1,{"id":52,"slug":53,"hasResults":11,"nctId":54,"briefTitle":55,"officialTitle":55,"acronym":56,"eligibilityCriteria":57,"healthyVolunteers":17,"sex":18,"minAge":19,"maxAge":58,"enrollmentInfo":59,"targetDuration":4,"studyType":23,"phases":61,"briefSummary":62,"conditions":63,"keywords":64,"overallStatus":38,"whyStopped":4,"lastUpdateSubmitDate":76,"lastUpdatePostDateStruct":77,"startDateStruct":79,"completionDateStruct":81,"leadSponsor":83,"locationsCount":4},"100640252","effect-of-a-brief-daily-digital-meditation-on-well-being-in-us-young-adults-begin-ii-100640252","NCT07607782","Effect of a Brief Daily Digital Meditation on Well-Being in US Young Adults (BEGIN II)","BEGIN II","Inclusion Criteria:\n\n* Individuals between the ages of 18-40 years\n* Currently residing in the USA\n* Individuals who are English speaking\n* Willing and able to download an application on iOS\u002FAndroid\n\nExclusion Criteria:\n\n* Individuals who are non-English speaking\n* Unable to access an iOS\u002FAndroid smartphone\n* Individuals who regularly practice any form of meditation \\>4 times per week\n* Individuals scoring 9-12 on the PHQ-4, or ≥3 on either the PHQ-2 or GAD-2 subscale","40 Years",{"count":60,"type":22},354,[25],"This study is testing whether a short, daily, app-based meditation can help young adults feel better in their everyday lives.\n\nWe will invite about 354 adults between 18 and 40 years old who live in the United States to join.\n\nEveryone who joins will be randomly placed into one of three groups for 4 weeks: Intervention group will do a 7-minute Miracle of Mind meditation each day using a phone app. Active comparator group will listen to a neutral 7-minute audio lesson each day.
