Automated Text Messaging as an Adjunct to Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Depression: A Clinical Trial
Overview
This clinical trial investigates whether adding automated text messaging to group Cognitive Behavioral Therapy improves engagement and outcomes for low-income Spanish-speaking Latino patients with depression. The study compares a control group receiving standard therapy against an intervention group that received mood monitoring, content reminders, and clinician dashboards via text. Results indicate that the text messaging adjunct significantly increased the duration of therapy attendance compared to the control condition.
