Can a Smartphone App Make you Feel Super Better? A Pilot Study Utilizing a Multiple Single-Case Design

Abstract

This dataset contains the de-identified data of four individuals who participated in this pilot study using the mental health app, SuperBetter. A multiple single-case design was used. The dataset contains: 1. Daily distress ratings, known as Subjective Units of Distress (SUDS); 2. Anxiety and depression symptom outcome ratings, captured at four different time points by the Depression Anxiety Stress Scale - 21 Item Version (DASS-21); 3. Life functioning ratings captured at four different time points by the Outcome Questionnaire - 45 Item Version 2nd Edition (OQ-45.2); 4. Demographic information captured by our demographics questionnaire; and 5. Final app rating and appraisal captured by the Mobile Application Rating Scale - User Version (uMARS). The dataset contains both raw data files and graph / figure files for visual analysis.
