Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This study examines how online self-guided programs can improve mood and anxiety symptoms. These programs use exercises from Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, which is an evidence-based treatment for depression and anxiety. The purpose of this study is to learn who will do best with the online format. Our aim is to learn for whom online self-guided interventions are most efficacious. This knowledge is important because it will help inform clinicians and patients about who might benefit from this type of intervention versus who would need the assistance of a therapist. More specifically, we hope to figure out who would benefit from solely an online intervention and who would benefit from an online intervention in addition to other treatment.

Study Groups

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

Online Intervention

Participants randomized to the online intervention arm will be given access to the Good Days Ahead program for 12 weeks.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Good Days Ahead

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

Good Days Ahead is a web-based program based on the principles of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). It can be used to supplement traditional psychotherapy, or as a stand-alone intervention. There are 9 lessons that address Thinking Skills, Behavioral Skills, Schemas, and Coping Tools. Lessons include videos from expert therapists and a Practice Section in which patients complete forms for self-monitoring symptoms and challenging negative thoughts.

Waitlist

Participants randomized to the waitlist arm will wait for 12 weeks without doing an online intervention.

Group Type NO_INTERVENTION

No interventions assigned to this group
