Examination of Barriers to Treatment and User Preferences With Computer-based Therapy Using The Cool Teens CD for Adolescent Anxiety
Abstract
In a pilot series, 5 adolescents received a multimedia computer-based self-help treatment program for young people with an anxiety disorder. They used the 8-module Cool Teens CD-ROM over a 12-week period on a home computer. A Preferences and Attitudes Questionnaire and a 10-question Barriers to Treatment Participation measure were developed and administered after 12 weeks of program use to access the usability of this format of treatment delivery. Feedback showed that participants were generally satisfied with the multimedia content, the modules, and the delivery format of the CD-ROM. Specific likes and dislikes were reported and suggestions for improvement were made. These tended to reflect personal preferences rather than any recurring program weaknesses. Some treatment barriers were identified, with “finding time” rating highest. These findings can inform future design of treatment programs relying on multimedia delivery.

Perceived lack of time is a common difficulty characterizing many skills-based interventions for children and adolescents, whether delivered face-to-face or online.
“the perceived lack of time is a common difficulty characterizing many skills-based interventions for children and adolescents carried out in either regular face-to-face format or online (Wuthrich et al., 2012; Cunningham and Wuthrich, 2008; Vigerland et al., 2013).”

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.
