Depression Clinical Trial
Official title:
Development and Evaluation of a Brief Online Motivational Interviewing Intervention for Enhancing Engagement in Internet-delivered Cognitive Behaviour Therapy
Anxiety and depression are prevalent and disabling conditions. Although cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT) has been shown to significantly reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression, access to the service is limited. Internet-delivered cognitive behaviour therapy (ICBT) represents a novel approach to overcoming access barriers and involves delivering therapeutic content to manage symptoms via structured online lessons. The Online Therapy Unit has been studying the efficacy of ICBT for anxiety and depression and found that ~75% of clients complete treatment and demonstrate large improvement in symptoms. However, recent research suggests that younger clients and clients with higher baseline distress are more likely to dropout of ICBT. While it remains unclear why these clients are more susceptible to attrition, it is plausible that they are experiencing a greater degree ambivalence to change and, thus, terminate treatment as a result. Motivational interviewing (MI) aims to help facilitate clients' intrinsic motivation to change by resolving ambivalence. MI has been integrated into CBT for anxiety to overcome similar concerns of poor treatment retention. Evidence suggests that the integration of MI and CBT further enhances response and completion rates. In the context of online therapy, however, the efficacy of MI remains unclear. In the current trial, the investigators aimed to assess a recently developed online MI pre-treatment (i.e., the Planning for Change lesson). A total of 480 clients (original aim for sample size was 300) applying to transdiagnostic ICBT in routine care were randomly assigned to receive the MI pre-treatment or no pre-treatment (i.e., a waiting period) prior to participating in ICBT (i.e., the Wellbeing Course). The investigators sought to examine: how ICBT with MI compared to standardized ICBT in terms of symptom change, rates of reliable improvement, intervention usage (e.g., number of lessons completed), frequency of motivational language in the first two emails to therapist, and motivation levels. It was hypothesized that there would be a small but significant effect of MI on these variables. Additionally, the investigators aimed to explore if age and severity of baseline distress moderate the effect between MI and ICBT outcomes. Younger clients and clients with higher baseline distress are more likely to drop out of ICBT and, thus, it was further hypothesized that online MI will have a greater impact on these groups.
