Internet and Computer-Based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Anxiety and Depression in Youth: A Meta-Analysis of Randomized Controlled Outcome Trials
Overview
This meta-analysis evaluates the effectiveness of computer- and internet-based cognitive behavioral therapy (cCBT) for anxiety and depression in youth up to age 25, drawing on 13 randomized controlled trials involving 796 participants. The authors report that cCBT demonstrates significant efficacy compared to control conditions across anxiety, depression, and transdiagnostic targets, suggesting it as a viable alternative when face-to-face treatment is not feasible. The resource is primarily intended for researchers or clinicians interested in quantitative evidence regarding digital mental health interventions.
