Overview
Brief Summary
This is a study to investigate acceptability and feasibility of a novel protocol on exposure-based CBT for asthma-related fear delivered over the Internet (Internet-CBT).
Detailed Description
Asthma is one of the most common chronic diseases around the world, with a high prevalence of anxiety disorders. In a prior study (ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT03158194) a protocol for exposure-based CBT was developed for asthma-related anxiety. The aim of the current study is to evaluate acceptability and feasibility of our protocol for asthma-related fear when delivered over the Internet (Internet-CBT). The plan is to include 30 participants that will all receive the intervention in this uncontrolled feasibility study.
