Medical assistants tackle health worries in quick therapy trial

NCT ID NCT03789084

Summary

This study tested whether a brief, 4-session therapy could help people with excessive health worries when delivered by medical assistants right in their primary care clinic. It compared this approach to the usual process of getting a referral to a mental health specialist. The goal was to see if this new method was practical, acceptable to patients, and showed early signs of reducing health anxiety.
