The effectiveness of cognitive behavioral therapy-based interventions for depression and anxiety in people living with HIV in low- and middle-income countries: A systematic review and meta-analysis
Overview
This systematic review and meta-analysis evaluates the effectiveness of cognitive-behavioral therapy-based interventions for reducing depression and anxiety among people living with HIV in low- and middle-income countries. The study analyzes randomized and non-randomized controlled trials to assess outcomes and specific CBT components such as provider type and session structure. Results indicate a large positive effect on depression scores, with standard CBT and delivery by mental health professionals showing greater effectiveness than alternatives. Data was insufficient to conduct a meta-analysis for anxiety outcomes.
