Internet-Delivered Indicated Prevention For Anxiety Disorders: A Randomized Controlled Trial

Kenardy, Justin, McCafferty, Kelly, Rosa, Viginia·2003·Behavioural and Cognitive Psychotherapy

Abstract

The project aims to investigate the efficacy of a preventive cognitive behavioural intervention delivered via the Internet to individuals at risk of developing anxiety disorders. There is increasing evidence that suggests anxiety sensitivity may act as a premorbid risk factor for the development of anxiety pathology and panic disorder. Eighty-three university students with elevated anxiety sensitivity were randomly allocated to either an intervention group (n = 43), who worked through the Internet based program over a period of 6 weeks, or a waitlist control group (n = 40). Significant treatment effects were found for anxiety related cognitions and symptoms of depression, and a non-significant trend for anxiety sensitivity. These outcomes were related to expectancy but not to program utilization. Implications for the prevention of anxiety via the Internet are discussed.

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Internet-based mental health interventions have been established as an effective model for providing CBT, without intensive therapist involvement, for depression, panic disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder, and specific phobias.

    “Internet-based mental health interventions have been established as an effective model for the provision of CBT, without the need for intensive therapist involvement, for a variety of disorders and/or symptoms, including depression [32], panic disorder [26, 33, 34], post-traumatic stress disorder [35], and specific phobias [36].”
  • Time spent online was not correlated to outcomes in studies that targeted depression and anxiety, but was correlated to outcomes in studies of infertility related distress and body dissatisfaction.

    “Time spent online was not correlated to outcomes in studies that targeted depression [58] and anxiety [59], but was correlated to outcomes in studies of infertility related distress [60] and body dissatisfaction [61].”
  • Studies of clinical predictors of adherence have typically reported that baseline depression symptom severity is unrelated to adherence in online interventions.

    “Studies of clinical predictors of adherence have typically reported that baseline depression symptom severity is unrelated to adherence in online interventions (Andersson et al., 2005;Kenardy, McCafferty, & Rosa, 2003;Warmerdam et al., 2008).”

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.
