Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
The aim of this study is to evaluate two different internet-based treatments as well as two types of support through the use of a factorial design. The participants will be recruited trough advertising. After registration on the study's website the potential participants will be asked to answer screening questionnaires and demographic data for an initial screening. Those meeting inclusion criteria will be contacted for a diagnostic interview based Mini-International Neuropsychiatric Interview (M.I.N.I.). If meeting the study's inclusion criteria and not the exclusion criteria the participant will be included in the study and randomized to one of the four arms. The four arms are: Predetermined treatment program with weekly support, Predetermined treatment program with support on demand, Self-selected treatment with weekly support, Self-selected treatment with support on demand.
The predetermined treatment program is designed for treatment of worry and generalized anxiety disorder. It is based on newer forms of cognitive behavior therapy and includes mindfulness and acceptance. In the self-selected treatment the participants will select treatment interventions with the help of a manual and encouraged to choose interventions that they feel address their specific problems. The interventions that will be available are all based on standard cognitive behavior therapy techniques. The weekly support will be scheduled and delivered by clinical psychology students under supervision. This contact will be based on reports from the participants on the weeks work with the program and exercises. The support on demand will be also be delivered by clinical psychology students under supervision. This support takes place if and when the participant ask for support. Treatment will be 8 weeks long and both treatments will be delivered through the same platform. Contact with the participants will be trough written messages on a secure platform.
After the eight weeks of treatment the participants will be asked to answer the same measures as before the treatment as well as questions regarding how they experience the treatment. Follow up data will be collected at later points.
