Incorporating a Stepped Care Approach Into Internet-Based ...
The study compared the efficacy of internet-based cognitive behavioral therapy (i-CBT) with and without a stepped care model for adults with major depressive disorder (MDD). Results showed i-CBT significantly reduced depressive symptoms, but the stepped care model did not outperform i-CBT alone. However, the stepped care group completed more therapy sessions on average, suggesting it may aid in treatment adherence. The study highlights i-CBT's effectiveness for MDD and the need for further research on stepped care interventions.
