Summary

This study tests an internet-delivered cognitive behaviour therapy (ICBT) course designed specifically for public safety personnel (like police, firefighters, paramedics) who experience anxiety, depression, or PTSD. The 164 participants will be randomly assigned to different ways of completing the 8-week course—either following a set path or choosing their own order—and may receive extra social learning resources. The goal is to see which approach improves symptoms and engagement the most.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
internet-delivered cognitive behaviour therapy (ICBT)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could show that a flexible, self-guided online therapy program effectively reduces anxiety, depression, and PTSD symptoms in public safety personnel.
What could go wrong
This is a relatively small trial (164 participants) and uses self-reported outcomes. The therapy is self-guided, so engagement may vary, and results may not apply to all public safety personnel.
