Brief Summary

This study is a randomized controlled trial of an online, evidenced-based intervention (the ENHANCE program) that was modified to address the health and well-being challenges of COVID-19. Eligible participants will be randomized into the ENHANCE or Wait-List Control group over a 12-week period. ENHANCE participants will be introduced, and asked to practice, 10 evidenced-based principles and skills of happiness and well-being. Participants will complete an online survey about their health and well-being at baseline, midway (or 6 weeks), post-assessment (or at the end of the 12-week study), and 3-months following the end of the study.

The ENHANCE program was tailored to address the current health and well-being challenges faced by individuals living in the COVID-19 pandemic. The contents of each week will focus on a new evidenced-based principle that has been shown in research to decrease negative thinking and emotions, as well as increase positive thinking, emotions, and overall physical and mental health and well-being. Each week participants will focus on the skills and methods of implementing happiness and well-being into their daily routine.
