Read our Depression research guide →This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
The S.T.A.N.D. program is a mental health screening and treatment system designed for community college students dealing with depression and anxiety. This study compares two ways of deciding what level of care you need: one based only on how severe your symptoms are, and another that uses a computer algorithm considering your symptoms, life stressors, and personal circumstances. The goal is to figure out which approach helps more people get the right care at the right time.
Many community college students, especially those from minority backgrounds and with limited income, struggle to get mental health care for depression and anxiety. Researchers believe that matching people to care based on their full life situation—not just symptom severity—could help the treatment work better and reach more students who need help.

You'll be screened for depression and anxiety using online assessments. Then, depending on which group you're in, you'll either receive care decisions based on your symptom severity alone, or based on an algorithm that looks at your full situation. You may receive self-guided online prevention, coach-guided online therapy, or clinician-delivered care—and your care level may adjust as you progress through the program. You'll need internet access to complete assessments and online programs throughout your time in the study.
