Summary
This study tested two early treatments for stress-related ill-health in primary care: a nurse-led collaborative care program and therapist-guided self-help CBT. 172 adults with mild-to-moderate stress symptoms took part. The goal was to see if the simpler nurse-led approach works as well as CBT, which is the current best treatment but often hard to access.
