Summary

This study tests a computerized cognitive behavioral therapy (cCBT) program designed to help caregivers of veterans who have mild to moderate depression. Twenty caregivers will use the online course over several weeks. Researchers will measure how satisfied participants are and whether their depression symptoms improve.

What this could lead to
If it works, this could provide a convenient, online treatment option to reduce depression symptoms in caregivers of veterans.
What could go wrong
This is a very small, early-phase trial with only 20 participants, so results may not apply to all caregivers. The intervention may not be effective or acceptable to everyone.
