Do specific modules of cognitive behavioral therapy for depression have measurable effects on youth internalizing symptoms? An idiographic analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Understanding the efficacy of each module of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) may inform efforts to improve outcomes for youth depression, but effects of specific modules have been difficult to examine. Idiographic interrupted time series models offer a robust way to estimate module effects on an individual's symptoms. This study examined the association of specific CBT modules for depression on internalizing symptoms among depressed youths who received modular CBT in a randomized trial.

Methods

Individual models were created for three youths who met study criteria. Youths completed weekly symptom reports, and clinicians completed records of modules delivered. First order auto-regressive models quantified the change in average internalizing symptom severity betwe
