Internet-based CBT vs. TAU for Stress-related Disorders

Sweden300 participantsStarted 2021-03-25

Plain-language summary

Stress-related mental illness is common and one of the main causes of sick leave in Sweden. Cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) is a promising treatment, but access to treatment is low. In a previously conducted study, we found that internet-based CBT in comparison to a waitlist control group was effective in reducing symptoms of stress. The aim of the present study is to take the next step and compare Internet-based CBT for stress-related disorders to an active control condition.
