Overview

AI-generated summary, not a substitute for reading the source.

This randomized controlled trial evaluates the efficacy of a seven-session, peer-led online self-help group integrating cognitive behavioral therapy techniques for individuals with depressive symptoms and suicidal ideation. The study compares this intervention against a CBT-based mobile application and a waitlist control group, measuring outcomes via standardized depression and suicide scales at baseline, post-intervention, and three-month follow-up. Results indicate significant reductions in both depressive symptoms and suicidal ideation within the online self-help group, with effects sustained over time.
