Protocol for a Phase Two, Parallel Three-Armed Non-inferiority Randomized Controlled Trial of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT-Adjust) Comparing Face-to-Face and Video Conferencing Delivery to Individuals With Traumatic Brain Injury Experiencing Psychological Distress
Overview
This paper outlines the protocol for a phase two, parallel three-armed non-inferiority randomized controlled trial evaluating ACT-Adjust, a nine-session Acceptance and Commitment Therapy intervention for adults with moderate to severe traumatic brain injury experiencing psychological distress. The study compares the efficacy of video conferencing delivery against face-to-face sessions and a waitlist control among 56 participants referred from New South Wales rehabilitation units. It is designed as a resource for researchers or clinicians interested in the methodological framework of delivering evidence-based psychological therapy via eHealth to this specific population.
