Feasibility of Internet-delivered CBT for Adolescents With Depression
Summary
Prior to a properly powered randomized controlled study, evaluating efficacy and cost-effectiveness of ICBT, we will conduct a pilot study to investigate if the trial design is feasible, if therapist-guided and self-guided internet-delivered cognitive behavioral therapy (ICBT) is acceptable for adolescents with depression and to provide preliminary clinical efficacy data.
Description
A single-blind parallel-group pilot randomised controlled feasibility trial with the overall aim to develop two internet-delivered cognitive behaviour therapy interventions, therapist-guided and self-guided, for adolescents with mild to moderate Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) and their primary caregivers.
Patients can be either referred or self-referred. All potential participants are initially screened via telephone. This is followed by a face-to-face inclusion assessment. Participants who are eligible and have consented will be randomized into one of three trial arms; therapist-guided ICBT, self-guided ICBT or TAU. In the experimental arms, participants, e.g. the adolescent and at least one caregiver, either receive 10 weeks of therapist-guided or self-guided internet-delivered behavioural activation (BA). In the control arm, participants receive treatment as usual within the Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS) or primary care clinics. The primary endpoint will be at 3-month follow-up.
The primary objective is to evaluate the feasibility of the study design and trial procedures, including recruitment, withdrawal, drop out and attrition rates. The secondary objective is to (a) evaluate the acceptability of the ICBT interventions in regard to treatment satisfaction, credibility, reported adverse events, and program use, (b) to provide preliminary clinical efficacy data, and (c) to gather qualitative information on the experience of undergoing ICBT for depression from the perspective of adolescent patients, their caregivers and potential areas for improvement of future ICBT interventions.

Medical and Biotech [MESH] Definitions
Cognitive Therapy
A direct form of psychotherapy based on the interpretation of situations (cognitive structure of experiences) that determine how an individual feels and behaves. It is based on the premise that cognition, the process of acquiring knowledge and forming beliefs, is a primary determinant of mood and behavior. The therapy uses behavioral and verbal techniques to identify and correct negative thinking that is at the root of the aberrant behavior.
Reality Therapy
Method of psychotherapeutic treatment based on assumption of patients' personal responsibility for their own behavior. The therapist actively guides patients to accurate self-perception for fulfillment of needs of self-worth and respect for others. (From APA, Thesaurus of Psychological Index Terms, 8th ed.)
Play Therapy
A treatment technique utilizing play as a medium for expression and communication between patient and therapist.
Decompression
Decompression external to the body, most often the slow lessening of external pressure on the whole body (especially in caisson workers, deep sea divers, and persons who ascend to great heights) to prevent DECOMPRESSION SICKNESS. It includes also sudden accidental decompression, but not surgical (local) decompression or decompression applied through body openings.
Depression, Postpartum
Depression in POSTPARTUM WOMEN, usually within four weeks after giving birth (PARTURITION). The degree of depression ranges from mild transient depression to neurotic or psychotic depressive disorders. (From DSM-IV, p386)
