Do depressive symptoms affect the outcome of treatments for SAD? A meta analysis of randomized controlled trials
Abstract
Individuals with social anxiety disorder (SAD) typically have elevated depressive symptoms. In the present meta-analysis, we reviewed the treatment outcome literature in SAD and examined whether depressive symptoms predict treatment outcome. We focused on randomized controlled trials of cognitive behavior therapy (individual face-to-face, group format, and internet-delivered format) and randomized controlled trials of pharmacotherapy. After implementing exclusion criteria, 108 studies with 133 treatment conditions (n = 12,913 participants) were included in the meta-analysis. Our findings indicated that treatments for SAD were efficacious and significantly reduced social anxiety symptoms across all treatment modalities. Exclusion of individuals with MDD or high levels of depression did not affect outcome at post-treatment or at follow-up. However, we found that elevated depressive symptoms were associated with greater reductions in social anxiety symptoms from pre-treatment to post-treatment. Importantly, this effect was above and beyond pre-treatment levels of social anxiety. Finally, analyzing treatment modalities separately, we found that depressive symptoms were associated with better post-treatment outcomes in individual face-to-face CBT but not in other modalities. Clinical and research implications of these findings are discussed.

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.
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.
