Participant engagement was assessed using a self-report engagement measure administered at post-intervention. Items were rated on a 5-point Likert-type scale ranging from 1 to 5, with higher scores indicating greater engagement. Mean engagement scores are reported as scores on a scale. Engagement scores represent the mean of all item responses, yielding a possible score range from 1 to 5.

Anxiety symptoms were assessed using the Generalized Anxiety Disorder 7-item scale (GAD-7). Items are rated on a 4-point scale ranging from 0 ("not at all") to 3 ("nearly every day"). Item responses are summed to compute a total score. Total scores range from 0 to 21, with higher scores indicating greater anxiety symptom severity.

Sentiment was quantified using a continuous sentiment score ranging from 0 to 1, with higher values indicating more positive sentiment. Sentiment scores were derived from open-ended responses collected at Week 4. Due to non-normal distributions, sentiment scores are summarized using medians and interquartile ranges and are reported as scores on a scale.

Depressive symptoms were assessed using the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9), a 9-item self-report measure. Items are rated on a 4-point scale ranging from 0 ("not at all") to 3 ("nearly every day"). Item responses are summed to compute a total score. Total scores range from 0 to 27, with higher scores indicating greater depressive symptom severity.

The goal of this study is to address the mental health crisis among college students by creating a promising solution for group teletherapy, which is equivalent to individual teletherapy in terms of treatment outcomes.The main question it aims to answer is: if participants' outcome measures in TheraGroup are in line with participants' outcome measures in individual therapy. The goal of the current SBIR is to test TheraGroup, the first large scale virtual group platform for evidenced-based mental health therapy. The TheraGroup application addresses the market surge in the demand for care and the shortage of mental health professionals as it represents an economically viable treatment alternative to individual teletherapy.
