Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Placebo Control

Participants in the control condition will view a presentation that teaches inert information about anxiety, depression, and relationships such as definitions, prevalence rates, common problems associated with these conditions and available forms of treatment. This presentation was used initially in Cuckrowicz \& Joiner (2007) and has since been shown to be effective as a placebo in two previous ePREP studies (Braithwaite \& Fincham, 2007; Braithwaite \& Fincham, 2008). This presentation is identical to the ePREP intervention in its set up, the only difference being, there is no information included in this presentation that teaches specific skills or strategies for improving relationships, depression or anxiety.
