Summary

This study aimed to see if a telephone-supported self-help program called Bounce Back could help people with mild to moderate depression. Participants used cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) materials at home with coaching over the phone. The study was stopped early and only included 20 adults, so results are limited.
