Is online therapy as effective as in-person CBT? 💻

New study of 5,834 healthcare records found therapist-guided internet CBT showed similar depression improvements to face-to-face therapy.

Unlike RCTs, this used real-world data from people who didn't volunteer.

Integrating Smoking Cessation Treatment Into Web-Based Usual Psychological Care for People With Common Mental Illness: Feasibility Randomized Controlled Trial (ESCAPE #Digital) Background: Stopping smoking can improve #MentalHealth, with effect sizes similar to anti#depressant treatment. Internet-based cognitive behavioral therapy (iCBT) provides evidence-based treatment for #depression and #anxiety, and #Digital interventions can support smoking cessation. However, combined #Digital smoking and #MentalHealth support is not currently available in UK #Health services. Objective: This feasibility trial aimed to investigate the acceptability and feasibility of a #Digital tailored smoking cessation intervention delivered alongside usual iCBT, and test trial procedures. Methods: The study design was a 2-armed, parallel groups, pragmatic, feasibility randomized controlled trial. Eligible participants were adult (18 years and older), regular smokers referred to iCBT from National #Health Service Talking Therapies services in England. Participants were screened, consented, and randomized via a web-based platform and allocated to intervention (integrated smoking cessation support) or control (usual care) arms. Fully automated processes ensured allocation concealment. It was not possible to blind participants or clinicians to the behavioral intervention. Follow-ups via web-based questionnaires were completed at 3- and 6-months. Prespecified progression criteria, to determine the feasibility of the integrated intervention and trial procedures for a definitive trial, were enrolment of eligible clients (≥20%); recruitment to the target (≥80%); outcome data completeness (≥70%); and self-reported quit attempts in the intervention arm (≥8%). Results: A total of 309 participants were randomized: 154 to the intervention arm and 155 to the control arm. The proportion of eligible clients enrolled (309/1484, 21%) met the criteria for progression; however, the number randomized was below target (309/500, 62%). In the intervention arm, 18% (27/154) self-reported at least one quit attempt, which exceeded the progression criteria but was comparable to the control arm (32/155, 21%). High loss to follow-up meant data completeness was low (

Does this make sense?

I'm finding it hard to frame it in this way, went to bed feeling confused and woke up thinking "I got it! To Bluesky!" (Explaining things is a great way to remember them... and it's Saturday so everyone is asleep)

Experiences of Individually Tailored Internet-Based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy During the #covid19 Pandemic: Qualitative Interview Study Background: During the #covid19 pandemic, both physical and psychological health were at risk. Internet-based cognitive behavioral therapy (ICBT) is a psychological treatment alternative that does not inherently increase the risk of virus transmission because face-to-face interactions are not required. ICBT has been found to be effective for a variety of mental health problems, both before and during the #covid19 pandemic. Although the experiences of undergoing ICBT have been investigated in previous studies, the specific experiences of participating in ICBT during the #covid19 pandemic have been less examined. Objective: This qualitative study aimed to investigate the experiences of participants undergoing individually tailored ICBT with weekly therapist support during the #covid19 pandemic. Methods: We approached trial participants who had received ICBT for psychological symptoms related to the #covid19 pandemic during the summer of 2020. A strategic sample, based on the number of log-ins to the treatment platform, among other factors, was selected in an effort to achieve the highest possible variation. Semistructured telephone interviews were conducted 4 to 6 months after treatment completion, depending on whether the participant was initially assigned to the treatment or control group. Data were transcribed and then analyzed based on thematic analysis. Results: A total of 16 participants aged between 23 and 78 years were interviewed. Four main themes and 10 subthemes were derived from the thematic analysis: (1) functions of the treatment (initiating and motivating, perspective widening), (2) treatment equals work (experience of the treatment as demanding, going from text to action, posttreatment engagement, participant agency), (3) changes experienced (changes in relation to the #covid19 pandemic, other changes not related to the #covid19 pandemic), and (4) wishing for something else (individually tailored, contact with the therapist). Conclusions: The results closely align with those of previous qualitative studies on experiences of ICBT. Participants expressed appreciation of the treatment’s content and format. Suggestions and wishes for changes were also expressed in the interviews. However, a unique finding was that participants described experiencing changes in well-being related to the #covid19 pandemic. At the same time, there were also reports of changes in other symptoms not related to the pandemic. Further studies are needed on the experiences of participants who drop out of ICBT and the type of therapist contact they prefer.
