Overview

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

This study protocol outlines a randomized factorial trial investigating how expectation-focused microinterventions influence the effectiveness of an internet- and mobile-based cognitive behavioral intervention for depression. The research involves 720 adult participants with elevated depressive symptoms who are assigned to various combinations of standard or personalized framing and different types of mid-treatment telephone support. Primary outcomes include depression levels measured by the BDI-II, while secondary measures assess expectations, adherence, anxiety, disability, negative effects, and treatment satisfaction.
