<sec> <title>BACKGROUND</title> Low-intensity treatments (LITs) such as digital mental health interventions, internet-based cognitive behavioral therapy (i-CBT), and guided self-help (GSH) may be a promising way to reduce the public burden of illness. These interventions are efficacious, can provide evidence-based treatment at low cost, circumvent structural barriers (e.g., cost) traditional psychotherapy (i.e., individual face-to-face with professional providers). There is great excitement...
Digital mental health interventions (DMHIs) are a promising approach to reducing the public burden of illness. DMHIs efficacious, can provide evidence-based treatment with few resources, and highly scalable relative one-on-one face-to-face psychotherapy. There is potential for substantially reduce unmet needs by circumventing structural barriers access (eg, cost, geography, time). However, epidemiological research on perceived care use demonstrates that attitudinal barriers, such as lack...
Social media use for health information is extremely common in the United States. Unfortunately, this may expose users to misinformation. The prevalence and harms of misinformation are well-documented many domains (e.g., infectious diseases). However, research on mental limited. Our review suggests that common, although its varies across disorders treatment types. Individual differences susceptibility have been documented generally but less so health. We discuss conceptual issues defining...
Introduction: Transdiagnostic self-help cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) approaches may help ease the burden of untreated symptoms internalizing distress, especially in geographic areas with relatively small numbers mental health providers. Methods: Over course 12 months, we conducted a six-week randomized controlled trial (N = 275) across Indiana, state high unmet need for care. All participants were given immediate access to single-session intervention (SSI) followed by randomization...
Objective: In recent years, emotion regulation strategies such as cognitive reappraisal (CR) and expressive suppression (ES) have emerged potential transdiagnostic mechanisms of change. Functional models dysregulation hypothesize that avoidance like ES maintain internalizing distress symptoms, but these not received close empirical scrutiny in treatment studies. The objective this study was to test whether week-to-week within-person changes CR predicted negative affect (NA) positive (PA) a...
Introduction: Doing What Matters in Times of Stress (DWM) is a five-module transdiagnostic guided self-help (GSH) intervention developed by the World Health Organization, originally group-based format. In sample individuals recruited from across United States, we conducted an open trial to study feasibility and acceptability adaptation DWM which guidance was provided individually remotely via phone videoconferencing. Methods: We assessed internalizing symptoms, psychological well-being, work...
