This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This study is testing a digital app called Amplification of Positivity - Cannabis Use (AMP-C) to see if it can help people who are dealing with both depression and problematic cannabis use at the same time. The app is designed to help boost positive feelings and reduce depression symptoms while supporting people in changing their cannabis use. Researchers want to find out whether the app is easy to use, acceptable to patients, and actually works.
Many people struggle with depression and cannabis use together, and these two problems can make each other worse. This trial exists because there's a need for new, accessible treatment options that can help people address both issues at the same time, especially through tools like apps that people can use on their own schedules.

If you join this study, you'll be randomly assigned to either use the AMP-C app or to use a simple symptom tracking app. Over the course of the trial, you'll use your assigned app and complete assessments about your depression symptoms, cannabis use, and how easy the app is to use. The study team will check in with you to see how you're doing and gather information about whether the treatment is helping.
