A study protocol for a randomised controlled trial investigating the clinical effectiveness, cost effectiveness and acceptability of Behavioural Activation for Young people (BAY) in CAMHS settings
Overview
This study protocol outlines a randomised controlled trial assessing the clinical effectiveness, cost-effectiveness, and acceptability of blended behavioural activation for adolescents aged 11–17 with moderate to severe depression in UK CAMHS settings. The research involves recruiting 446 participants across six sites to compare the intervention against treatment as usual, with primary outcomes focused on depressive symptoms at six months. The resource is intended for researchers and clinicians interested in trial design and evidence generation for digital mental health interventions.
