The study awarded will develop and test an innovative mobile phone app, designed specifically to improve the mental health and wellbeing of rural and regional communities, where access to support can often be limited - and explore how cutting-edge digital tools can transform health outcomes. This large grant will fund a randomised controlled trial over a three-year period.
