Example citation

A meta-analysis of 22 studies found that therapist-guidance increased the average amount of intervention completion (g = 0.29, 95% CI 0.18-0.40) in ICBT [@musiat2022]

Key takeaways

  • k = 22, n = 3946
  • Depression, GAD, social anxiety and panic disorder most common therapy targets, CBT/ACT most common interventions.
  • Full completion rates also improved: OR = 1.65 (95% CI 1.41 to 1.93).
