Outcomes of a Self-guided Versus Therapist-guided Online Mental Health Treatment

This is a pilot study of an online mental health treatment. The goals of the study are to determine the feasibility of an online treatment for depression and anxiety symptoms with little-to-no human support, in a sample of 50 adults with limited educational attainment. The treatment is based on the Unified Protocol, an evidence-based treatment for mood and anxiety symptoms. The study will enroll participants on a rolling basis until reaching the goal of 50 participants. The intervention lasts 16 weeks, with 12 weeks of online treatment focused on increasing mindfulness, decreasing avoidance, and increasing cognitive flexibility in order to decrease depression and anxiety symptoms. Participants will complete surveys about their symptoms and how they feel about the treatment to help us establish the feasibility of a larger trial.
