First seen Aug 17, 2026 · Last updated Aug 17, 2026
Summary
This trial tests whether an internet-based form of cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) can reduce symptoms of common mental disorders like anxiety, depression, and stress-related conditions in adults seeking primary care. About 500 participants will be randomly assigned to either the online therapy program or to usual primary care. The online program includes structured modules, worksheets, and weekly therapist feedback through a secure platform. The study will compare changes in psychological distress, disability, and work ability over up to two years.
