Project outline
This is a randomised trial funded by the HTA of usual GP care for depression versus the addition of one of two computerised CBT packages to usual GP care. Other study sites include Sheffield, Bristol and York (lead site). The study also includes a concurrent economic and qualitative evaluation to meet the following specific aims:
- To establish the clinical and cost effectiveness of the addition of computerised CBT to usual GP care over a two year follow-up period.
- To establish the acceptability (to patients and clinicians) of computerised CBT.
-
To establish the differential clinical and cost effectiveness of a free-to use computerised package, in comparison to a commercial pay-to-use computerised CBT package over a two year and longer-term time horizon.
