Official title
Does Adding a Tailored Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) Mobile Skills App Mediate Higher Rates of Depression Recovery, Adjustment, and Quality of Life in OEF/OIF Veterans Compared to Standard CBT?
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
Depression is a common psychological disorder seen in 18.5% of Operation Enduring Freedom (OEF), Operation Iraqi Freedom (OIF), and Operation New Dawn (OND) Veterans. Improving the rate of depression recovery and remission is vital to enhance OEF/OIF/OND Veteran's ability to improve work and home adjustment and overall quality of life. OEF/OIF/OND Veterans have reported many barriers to following through with Cognitive therapy skills practice assignments, a key component of CBT therapy, the leading therapy for depression in the VA. Smartphone apps have been identified as a useful widely-used tool to improve the effectiveness of psychological treatments. The investigators propose a full-scale multi-site randomized clinical trial (RCT) to measure the efficacy of CBT-D enhanced with CBT MobileWork-V, a comprehensive CBT skill training smartphone app (the experimental arm) for improving CBT understanding and skill acquisition and depressive symptoms, in OEF/OIF Veterans with depression compared to standard CBT-D.
