Summary

This study tested a brief form of cognitive behavioral therapy (bCBT) for Veterans with anxiety. 225 Veterans from three VA medical centers received either bCBT (in-person or by video) or usual care. The goal was to see if this short therapy helps reduce anxiety symptoms better than standard care.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
brief cognitive behavioral therapy (bCBT)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could provide an effective, short-term therapy option for Veterans with anxiety that is easy to deliver in primary care settings.
What could go wrong
This is a completed pragmatic trial, so results are available but may not apply to all Veterans or settings. The therapy is brief and may not work for everyone with severe anxiety.
