Unpacking the chain of change in group CBT and ACT for depression: A protocol for a randomized clinical trial
Background
Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) are among our most effective treatments for depression, yet their efficacy remains modest. Prior research has not been able to improve these efficacy rates in part due to the limited insight into the processes of change in these treatments and which individuals may benefit more or less from different therapeutic processes.
Method
One hundred adults with a diagnosis of major depressive disorder will be randomized to receive eight weeks of group CBT (n = 50) or ACT (n = 50). We will use intensive longitudinal sampling methods to examine therapeutic skills use, theorized treatment mechanisms, and treatment outcomes throughout the course of treatment. The primary aim is to examine the mediational effect of theorized treatment mechanisms on the association between therapeutic skills use and treatment outcomes. Our secondary aim is to examine the combined moderating effects of treatment modality and client characteristics on the association between therapeutic skills use and activation of mechanisms of change.
Conclusion
This work has the potential to inform precision mental health care by closing in on the question of “what works and for whom” as it relates to data-driven psychotherapeutic interventions for depression.
Trial registration number
The study is registered at www.clinicaltrials.gov (NCT06245096).
期刊介绍:
Contemporary Clinical Trials is an international peer reviewed journal that publishes manuscripts pertaining to all aspects of clinical trials, including, but not limited to, design, conduct, analysis, regulation and ethics. Manuscripts submitted should appeal to a readership drawn from disciplines including medicine, biostatistics, epidemiology, computer science, management science, behavioural science, pharmaceutical science, and bioethics. Full-length papers and short communications not exceeding 1,500 words, as well as systemic reviews of clinical trials and methodologies will be published. Perspectives/commentaries on current issues and the impact of clinical trials on the practice of medicine and health policy are also welcome.
