We're currently conducting trials with HS students and college students in the US, India, Kenya, and Greece. Would love to connect with people who are interestd in learning more about the intervention, testing/disseminating it, etc!

Also: Intervention design & dissemination, statistics/R, conducting online experiments relating to mental health and effective giving
