Unguided ICBT is often found to be less effective. One possible solution to reduce the costs of clinician support is to provide support on demand. In this format of guidance, participants have the option to contact their clinician if needed. In a few studies, this mode of support has been compared favorably to scheduled support. </sec> <sec xmlns=\"http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/JATS1\"> <title>Method</title> Participants in a previously reported controlled trial on SAD who had been in a waitlist control group were randomly allocated to ICBT with either on-demand guidance or scheduled weekly therapist guidance. A total of 99 participants were included. Data were collected weekly on the primary outcome measure, the Liebowitz Social Anxiety Scale self-report (LSAS-SR), and at pre- and post-treatment for secondary measures. Data were analyzed in accordance with the intention-to-treat principle using mixed-effects models. </sec> <sec xmlns=\"http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/JATS1\"> <title>Results</title> Both groups improved significantly during the treatment according to the LSAS-SR ratings. The groups did not differ in their estimated change during the treatment period, with a between-group effect of d = 0.02, 95% CI [-0.37, 0.43]. Both groups experienced similar improvement also on the secondary outcome measures, with small between-group effect sizes on all outcomes. </sec> <sec xmlns=\"http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/JATS1\"> <title>Conclusions</title> The findings indicate that support on demand can be an effective way of providing guidance in ICBT for SAD, although more research on this topic is needed. A limitation of the study is that it was conducted in 2009, and the findings were in the file drawer. Subsequent published studies support our initial findings, but more research is needed. </sec>","PeriodicalId":34029,"journal":{"name":"Clinical Psychology in Europe","volume":"47 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135132830","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Given that only 50% of patients improve under initial treatment, experts agree that prevention is the most effective way to change depression’s global disease burden.

To close this gap, this protocol paper introduces the WARN-D study, our effort to build a personalized early warning system for depression.\u0000 \u0000 \u0000 Method\u0000 To develop the system, we follow around 2,000 students over 2 years. Stage 1 comprises an extensive baseline assessment in which we collect a broad set of predictors for depression. Stage 2 lasts 3 months and zooms into participants’ daily experiences that may predict depression; we use smartwatches to collect digital phenotype data such as sleep and activity, and we use a smartphone app to query participants about their experiences 4 times a day and once every Sunday. In Stage 3, we follow participants for 21 months, assessing transdiagnostic outcomes (including stress, functional impairment, anxiety, and depression) as well as additional predictors for future depression every 3 months. Collected data will be utilized to build a personalized prediction model for depression onset.\u0000 \u0000 \u0000 Discussion\u0000 Overall, WARN-D will function similarly to a weather forecast, with the core difference that one can only seek shelter from a thunderstorm and clean up afterwards, while depression may be successfully prevented before it occurs.","PeriodicalId":34029,"journal":{"name":"Clinical Psychology in Europe","volume":"2015 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135133384","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Many treatment guidelines and recommendations now acknowledge that psychological treatments can serve as adjuncts to pharmacological treatments, and they are also described as standalone and first-line recommended treatments for mild to moderate psychological prob­ lems and diagnoses like major depression and the anxiety disorders. The reason for this is not based on opinion and consensus (which used to be the case in medicine and psychiatry 100 years ago), but increasingly well conducted research studies inform health care and the practice of clinical psychology. Not only controlled intervention studies change practice but also research on mechanisms and processes including self-report measures, brain-imaging and tests of information processing, to give a few examples. In particular, when it comes to cognitive-behavioural treatments (CBT), it can rightfully be argued that there is less need for new studies repeating the same finding that getting CBT is often better than not getting it (there might still be a need to study different psy­ chotherapy orientations like psychodynamic psychotherapy). One way to bring interven­ tion research forward is to use factorial designs in order to discern effective components (Watkins & Newbold, 2020). As I will return to it has not been possible to obtain large enough sample sizes in regular clinical research to run factorial design trials but the use of the internet and modern information technology has changed this (Andersson et al., 2019).","PeriodicalId":34029,"journal":{"name":"Clinical Psychology in Europe","volume":"5 2","pages":"e12063"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10508256/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41151822","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
