Evaluating a Web-Based Social Anxiety Intervention Among University Students: Randomized Controlled Trial
Overview
This randomized controlled trial evaluates the effectiveness of Overcome Social Anxiety, a web-based CBT intervention for university students with social anxiety. The study compares symptom reduction in a treatment group against a wait-list control group using standardized scales for social interaction anxiety and fear of negative evaluation. Results indicate that participants receiving the intervention experienced significant reductions in social anxiety symptoms compared to the control group.
