Acceptability, satisfaction and perceived efficacy of “ Space from Depression ” an internet-delivered treatment for depression
Open accessAbstract
Background There are clear advantages to internet-delivered interventions for depression. Users' perspectives on the acceptability, satisfaction, and efficacy of an internet-delivered treatment for depression can inform future developments in the area. Methods Respondents ( n = 281) were participants in an 8 week supported internet-delivered Cognitive Behaviour Therapy treatment for depressive symptoms. Self-report online questionnaires gathered quantitative and qualitative data on the user experience. Principle findings Most respondents were satisfied with the programme ( n = 191), felt supported ( n = 203), reported positive gains and impact resulting from use of the programme, and perceived these to be likely to be lasting effects ( n = 149). Flexibility and accessibility were the most liked aspects. A small number of respondents felt their needs were not met by the intervention ( n = 64); for this group suggestions for improvements centred on the programme's structure and how supporter feedback is delivered. Conclusion Results will deepen the understanding of users' experience and inform the development and implementation of evidence-based internet-delivered interventions.

The Introduction describes several online CBT interventions, says this delivery format has shown significant clinical outcomes, and identifies trained-supporter guidance in Space from Depression. The Conclusion reports encouraging results for depression symptoms in a community population. The paper does not establish effectiveness for anxiety or show that multiple guided programmes were validated for both conditions. (LLM, conf=0.86)
Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredThe differences between treatment and waiting-list control group in the original Space from Depression programme yielded statistically significant results, with a moderate to large effect size (d = 0.50), and these improvements on the outcomes were maintained at 6-month follow-up.

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.
