Brief Summary
The study was a randomized controlled trial investigating treatment effects against an active control condition. 101 self-recruited participants, aged 65 to 88 years, were included. The intervention was a 10-week internet-based tailored CBT protocol consisting of 6-10 pre-defined modules tailored to patient profile and preferences. Participants in the treatment group benefitted more than participants in the control condition on almost all measures with moderate between-group effect-sizes.
