Background:

College students face significant mental health challenges.
Early intervention is crucial for preventing the escalation of mental health issues.
Web-based interventions offer scalable solutions for student populations.

Purpose of the Study:

To assess the feasibility of a prototype Web-based Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) program.
To evaluate the program's acceptability and usability among first-year undergraduate students.
To examine the preliminary efficacy of Web-based ACT in preventing mental health problems.

Main Methods:

A randomized controlled trial with 76 first-year undergraduate students.
Participants were assigned to either the Web-based ACT program or a waitlist control group.
Assessments were conducted at baseline, post-therapy, and 3-week follow-up.

Main Results:

High program acceptability and usage were reported.
Significant improvements in ACT knowledge, educational values, and depression were observed in the ACT group compared to the waitlist.
ACT significantly reduced depression and anxiety among students with at least minimal distress.

Conclusions:

The Web-based ACT program is feasible for preventing mental health issues in college students.
Preliminary findings support the use of digital ACT interventions for student mental wellness.
Further research is warranted to confirm these findings in larger, diverse student populations.
