Internalizing symptoms declined comparably for Think and Share participants. Consequently, future research should examine whether encouraging youths to share their feelings produces symptom improvements, and whether a single-session, self-guided CR DMHI produces beneficial effects relative to more inert control conditions. Further, the decline in CR skills use for Project Share youths versus sustained CR use by Project Think youths raises questions about the natural time course of youths' CR use and the impact of these DMHIs on that course.
