Personalized online intervention based on a risk algorithm for the universal prevention of anxiety disorders: Design and development of the prevANS intervention.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To describe the design and development of prevANS, a personalized online intervention for the universal prevention of anxiety disorders based on a predictive risk algorithm. A user-centered approach was followed, considering the feedback of potential users and mental health professionals.

Methods

The study had three phases: (a) designing the intervention based on existing scientific literature; (b) piloting and evaluating the beta version involving potential users and health professionals; and (c) refining the intervention based on participants' suggestions. This iterative process aimed to refine the prevANS intervention before testing in a randomized controlled trial.

Results

The prevANS intervention provides personalized anxiety risk reports and components
