The uptake and effectiveness of online cognitive behaviour therapy for symptoms of anxiety and depression during COVID-19
Open accessAbstract
Background The mental health impacts of COVID-19 have been considerable with many individuals experiencing significant anxiety and depression. Online cognitive behavioural therapy (iCBT) programs provide scalable access to psychological interventions, however the effectiveness of these programs during the pandemic has not been investigated. This study examined the uptake and effectiveness of iCBT for symptoms of anxiety and depression during the first eight months of the pandemic in Australia (March- October 2020) and compared outcomes to the 12 months prior to COVID-19.Methods 6,132 adults commenced iCBT (5,074 during the pandemic and 1,058 in the year before) and completed measures of anxiety and depression symptom severity, and psychological distress pre- and post-treatment.Results In the COVID-19 period, we observed a 504% increase in the number of monthly course registrations compared to the year prior (with a peak increase of 1,138% between April and June 2020). Baseline anxiety and depression symptom severity were similar for the COVID and pre-COVID groups. Prior to and during the pandemic, the iCBT course was associated with large effect size reductions in anxiety (g = 0.94-1.18) and depression (g = 0.92-1.12) symptom severity, as well as psychological distress (g = 1.08-1.35).Limitations lack of control group and long-term follow-up, as well as lack of detailed information about course users (e.g., health status and life context).Conclusion Results indicate the considerable increase in demand for psychological support during the COVID-19 pandemic in Australia and demonstrate the effectiveness and scalability of iCBT for symptoms of anxiety and depression.

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.
