An Internet-based Acceptance and Commitment Therapy intervention for older adults with anxiety complaints: study protocol for a cluster randomized controlled trial
Overview
This study protocol outlines a cluster randomized controlled trial evaluating a blended Acceptance and Commitment Therapy intervention for adults aged 55 to 75 with mild to moderately severe anxiety. The research compares the cost-effectiveness of an online self-help program combined with limited face-to-face counselor contacts against treatment-as-usual. It aims to assess changes in anxiety symptoms using the GAD-7 scale across multiple time points and investigate potential moderators and mediators of treatment effects.
