简要总结
This study is an open trial of acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) groups combined with a mobile app for the treatment of Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD). The goal of this study is to evaluate if ACT groups and a mobile app are efficacious and acceptable in the treatment of GAD.
Study hypotheses are:
- Group ACT will lead to improvement in worry, anxiety, comorbid depression, functioning, and well-being.
- Group ACT will also lead to improvement in theoretically relevant processes, namely psychological inflexibility, anxiety-related fusion, mindfulness, and progress towards values.
- Combining a mobile app with group ACT will be credible, acceptable, and satisfactory to participants.
详细描述
Participants and power:
Each group will include 6-12 participants. The target sample size is 36 participants, which would provide good power (0.90) to detect a medium effect size in a repeated-measures ANOVA with three time points and requires running at least 3 groups.
All clinics on the Utah State University campus will be asked to refer their waitlist clients to the group, if appropriate (e.g., client presented with significant worry). Local private practitioners in the Cache Valley, Utah area may also be notified about the option to refer their waitlist clients to the group. Fliers will be posted on the Utah State University campus and in the local community and distributed to providers to provide more information on the study. Fliers will direct interested individuals to contact the researchers. The study will also be listed on the Utah State University Contextual Behavioral Science Lab website with a link to the pre-screening.
Procedures:
Individuals who contact the researchers expressing interest will be sent more information on study procedures and asked to complete a brief online pre-screening specific to this study.
