abstract="OBJECTIVE: To examine the feasibility of a self-guided, Web-based program for universal prevention of anxiety and depression in university students. Participants: University students (n = 651) enrolled in the tested program (March, 2016). <br><br>METHODS: The program delivered eight weeks of mental health skills (e.g., behavioral activation, mindfulness). Data was collected online through an entry survey, weekly check-in surveys, and a post-program feedback survey. <br><br>RESULTS: Campus-wide recruitment emails were the most encountered recruitment strategy (82%). In terms of adherence, the program was initiated by 73% of students and fully completed by 11% of students. There was some evidence of program acceptability (e.g., 71% of students endorsed the program as &quot;useful&quot;). Common qualitative themes further suggested acceptability for some aspects of the program while also highlighting others for revision. <br><br>CONCLUSION: Findings support further development of the online program and recommendations are made for improving the platform before future testing.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
