Patient feedback could shorten therapy waitlists
NCT ID NCT07280767
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at whether asking patients for regular feedback during therapy can help clinics see more people and reduce waiting times. Researchers compared two psychiatric clinics in Sweden—one that used feedback-informed therapy and one that did not—using data from over 200 patients. The goal was to see if this approach makes therapy more efficient without changing the treatment itself.

Who is studied
The study population consists of adults receiving psychotherapy at two general psychiatric outpatient clinics in southern Sweden. These clinics provide publicly funded care for conditions such as mood and anxiety disorders, personality difficulties, neurodevelopmental disorders, self-harm, and eating disorders. Patients are typically referred from primary care or via self-referral. All individuals with registered contact and documented treatment activity between 2021 and 2024 at either clinic are included. No direct patient recruitment occurs, as the study is based on anonymized clinical and administrative health record data.
