The Potential Impact of Using Internet-delivered CBT (iCBT) for People in IAPT Services as a Prequel to High Intensity Therapy (HIT) for Depression and Anxiety Disorders.
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating SilverCloud for Depression and Anxiety. Completed, enrolled 126 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
This study will explore the potential impacts of internet-delivered cognitive behavioural therapy (ICBT) at step 3 of the IAPT model. To do this, interventions administered as a prequel to face-to-face therapy will be analysed and compared based on their impacts in regards to access, outcomes (psychological) and costs. A qualitative segment will also be conducted in order to investigate the acceptability and usability of the platform for clinicians and the possibility of developing a therapeutic alliance through an online medium.
