Interest in Behavioral and Psychological Treatments Delivered Face-to-Face, by Telephone, and by Internet
Open accessAbstract
Little is known about the acceptability of internet and telephone treatments, or what factors might influence patient interest in receiving treatments via these media. This study examined the level of interest in face-to-face, telephone, and internet treatment and factors that might influence that interest. Six hundred fifty-eight primary care patients were surveyed. Among patients interested in some form of behavioral treatment, 91.9% were interested or would consider face-to-face care compared to 62.4% for telephone and 48.0% for internet care. Symptom severity was unrelated to interest in treatment delivery medium. Interest in specific treatment targeting mental health, lifestyle, or pain was more strongly predictive of interest in face-to-face treatment than telephone or internet treatments. Only interest in lifestyle intervention was predictive of interest in internet-delivered treatment. Time constraints as a barrier were more predictive of interest in telephone and internet treatments compared to face-to-face. These findings provide some support for the notion that telephone and internet treatments may overcome barriers. People who seek help with lifestyle change may be more open to internet-delivered treatments, while interest in internet intervention does not appear to be associated with the desire for help in mental health, pain, or tobacco use. © 2010 The Society of Behavioral Medicine.

The Results (Attrition; page unavailable) report a mean dropout rate of 7.56% across 12 studies of telephone-administered psychotherapy. The Discussion (page unavailable) describes this as low relative to attrition reported in face-to-face psychotherapy, supporting the claim that patients generally stayed with the telephone treatments studied.

What the sources say
- Supportedcites [9] Eysenbach G. The law of attrition. J Med Internet Res. 2005; 7: e11. source
In “The Law of Attrition” section (page not provided), Eysenbach reports very low completion of Internet-based self-help programs: about 1% for a panic-disorder program and 0.5% for Moodgym in an open setting. The paper treats discontinuation as a common problem for Internet-based eHealth interventions, supporting the claim about low adherence. (LLM, conf=0.89)
- Partly supportedcites [10] Christensen H, Griffiths KM, Farrer L. Adherence in internet interventions for anxiety and depression. J Med Internet Res. 2009; 11: e13. sourceExperimental — accuracy not yet measured
The Introduction and Discussion > Findings (page unavailable) describe poorer adherence on open-access websites than in trials, supporting concern about adherence in one setting. But the review reports relatively high treatment adherence—over 50%—in randomized trials and says Internet interventions are not inherently non-adherent. The blanket claim about standalone treatments is therefore broader than the evidence supports. (LLM, conf=0.85)

Citation (1) supports the mental-health portion of the sentence, not the separately cited lifestyle, smoking-cessation, or pain-management claims.

“Little is known about the relative acceptability or level of interest in telephone- or internet-administered treatments, compared to traditional face-to-face delivered care.”
“There is also virtually no information on what creates, supports or diminishes interest in receiving treatments via these different delivery media.”

The notion that telephone and internet treatments will overcome barriers is largely untested.

Self-check
Percentages, sums and reported differences re-computed from the paper’s own numbers.
Each contradiction between two passages listed here was confirmed by an independent check.
Rated minor: it would not touch a result — a value no result rests on, a p-value that stays on the same side of the significance level, or a conflict that is clerical, resolved elsewhere in the paper, or outside its own findings.
In the paper
§ Interest in Behavioral and Psychological Treatments Delivered Face-to-Face, by Telephone and by Internet > Abstract > Results
“Symptom severity was unrelated to interest in treatment delivery medium.”
§ Interest in Behavioral and Psychological Treatments Delivered Face-to-Face, by Telephone and by Internet > Results > Predictors of Interest in Receiving Behavioral Services by Treatment Medium
“There was a significant differential effect between pain and interest medium (p = .046), with pain having a significantly greater negative effect on interest in face-to-face treatment compared to telephone delivered care.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
A language model drew the claims from the paper on 2026-09-28, under version 3 of the claim definition (model deepseek-v4.1-flash, prompt extract-v3).
A second model labelled each claim on 2026-09-28 (model jev-1.13-20260917, definition revision gold-guideline-v0.2).
Cited sources are checked with a language model’s help (gpt-6-sol).
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
