A pragmatic factorial randomized controlled trial of transdiagnostic internet-delivered cognitive behavioural therapy: Exploring benefits of homework reflection questionnaires and twice-weekly therapist support.

ABSTRACT: With the growing demand for internet-delivered cognitive behavioural therapy (iCBT), this pragmatic factorial (2 × 2 × 2) randomized controlled trial evaluated strategies for facilitating iCBT engagement and outcomes in routine care.

Patients (n = 632) accepted into iCBT for depression and/or anxiety were randomly assigned to complete homework reflection questionnaires or not (factor 1), receive once- or twice-weekly support (factor 2), and to receive care from therapists employed in one of two settings (iCBT clinic or a community mental health clinic; factor 3). Outcomes were measured at pre-treatment, and 8, 12, and 2
