Timeline
Interventions
Internet based blended CBT depression treatment combines individual face-to-face cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) with CBT delivered through an Internet based treatment platform with mobile phone components (either integrated in the treatment platform or as a separate system). The core components of the CBT treatment are: (1) psycho-education, (2) cognitive restructuring, (3) behavioural activation, (4) positive psychology, and (5) relapse prevention. These will be delivered over 10 sessions. For this study, the ratio between the number of face-to-face sessions and the number of online module will be 1/3 face-to-face and 2/3 online.
