Randomized controlled trial on feedback-informed internet-delivered psychodynamic therapy for adolescents with depression: A trial that failed to recruit enough participants
Overview
This paper reports on a randomized controlled trial that was discontinued due to insufficient recruitment of adolescents with depression. The study aimed to evaluate an adaptive, feedback-informed internet-delivered psychodynamic therapy using a predictive algorithm to identify non-responders. Although the trial failed to reach its target sample size of 240 participants, it notes significant within-group improvements in depressive symptoms and anxiety among those who completed treatment.
