First seen Jun 29, 2026 · Last updated Jun 30, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether measurement-based care — where therapists regularly track symptoms using questionnaires — adds extra benefit to weekly psychotherapy for adults with depression or anxiety. Participants are randomly assigned to measurement-based care, standard therapy, or a waitlist. The goal is to see if this structured monitoring leads to better mood, less anxiety, and improved quality of life.
