Single-Session Interventions Produce Small Depression Reductions
A Dartmouth-led team published a Nature Human Behaviour paper in 2024 reporting results from a randomized trial that assigned 7,505 American adults to one of 12 self-guided, under-10-minute single-session interventions or a control. They found two interventions—Interactive Cognitive Reappraisal and Finding Focus—produced about a 4% greater reduction in depressive symptoms at one month versus control, indicating modest, scalable benefits.
Scoring Rationale
Large randomized trial and Nature Human Behaviour publication increase score, though effects are modest and limited to one-month follow-up.
