Read our Depression research guide →This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This trial is testing internet-delivered cognitive behaviour therapy (ICBT) — an online program where you learn skills to manage depression and anxiety symptoms at your own pace. Researchers want to know whether offering students three different course options — a fast-track version, a 5-week course, or an 8-week course — helps more students stick with treatment and get better results. You'll work through online lessons and can choose to get support from a therapist if you need it.
Many students start online therapy but don't finish it, possibly because the existing programs don't fit their busy schedules or learning preferences. This trial aims to see if offering flexible course lengths helps students complete treatment and benefit more from the program.

You will choose one of three course formats that works best for your schedule. You'll access online lessons and learning materials through your computer, working through the content over your chosen timeframe. Throughout the course, you can optionally contact a therapist for support — they will respond when you reach out to them, rather than on a fixed schedule. The entire program lasts between 5 to 8 weeks depending on which option you select.
