Brief Summary
This project aims to investigate factors that are important in affecting adherence in internet based Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT). It is hypothesized that two intervention-specific variables, Support and Content, are important factors and that maximizing the impact of these would result in improved adherence and potentially in the end also better outcome for participants in internet interventions.
