For the data we do have, we see modest (and significantly significant) improvements the CES-D and AHI scales after one week and after one month of use. The trends are also encouraging at 3 months. There are some issues with this, though: first, we don't have a comparison to a set of participants who are using a purely private version. Second, it's reasonable to think that people will look for this application when they are fairly unhappy, and thus we would see some improvement over time anyway *and* people who do not become happier (for whatever reasons) are probably more likely to quit and move on to try other activities, since 3GT isn't working for them. I'm hoping to get some time to make improvements to 3GT and to then do a long-term comparison with a paper version and with a personal (i.e., not social) but still electronic version, using random assignment.
