Summary

This study tested an online psychological service called eClinic for young adults aged 15 to 35 in Hong Kong who have moderate to severe anxiety or depression. The eClinic offers a private, flexible online platform with therapist-guided self-learning modules. Researchers measured changes in depression and anxiety symptoms to see if this approach is effective and cost-efficient.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Internet-based Unified Protocol (UP) intervention
What this could lead to
If successful, this could show that an online therapy platform is a cost-effective way to help young people with anxiety or depression, especially those who prefer private, stigma-free care.
What could go wrong
This is a completed study in Hong Kong with 420 participants, so results may not apply to other regions or age groups. The intervention relies on self-learning with therapist support, which may not work for everyone.
