“…Collado, Castillo, Maero, Lejuez, and MacPherson (2014) found, in a small pilot trial, that depression improved in tandem with activation and was preceded by environmental reward. In another case study by Manos, Kanter, and Luo (2011) activation preceded depression improvement in one client and was concurrent with improvement in the other. No studies have investigated the temporal relation between BA mechanisms and outcome in inpatient contexts.…”

“…The CUB has good internal consistency (.79À.93). The CUB was supplemented with the self-report measure Behavioral Activation for Depression Scale e Short Form (BADS-SF; Manos et al, 2011). It was used to assess activation and avoidance in general and items do not specifically describe situations related to the ward milieu.…”

Background: Research on the effectiveness of treatments for subthreshold depression (sD) is still scarce. The aim of the study was to evaluate the efficacy of a web-based guided self-help intervention (GET.ON Mood Enhancer) in the treatment of sD. Methods: Participants with sD (n = 406) recruited from the general population via a large health insurance company were randomly allocated to a web-based cognitive behavioural intervention or to enhanced care-as-usual. The primary outcome was the reduction in depressive symptom severity as measured with the Center for Epidemiological Studies Depression Scale at post-treatment and at 6-month follow-up. Results: Participants in the intervention group showed a significantly greater pre-post reduction in depressive symptom severity (d = 1.06; 95% CI: 0.86-1.27) compared to the control condition (d = 0.29; 95% CI: 0.10-0.49). The corresponding between-group effect size was d = 0.69 (95% CI: 0.49-0.89). At 6-month follow-up the effect was reduced to d = 0.28 (95% CI: 0.09-0.48) but was still statistically significant (F_{1, 403} = 9.240, p = 0.003). Conclusions: This study lends support to the idea that problem solving coupled with behavioural activation is an effective treatment for sD. In addition, the delivery of this intervention over the Internet might be a promising strategy for the dissemination of psychological interventions for sD on a large scale.

Background: Symptoms of depression and anxiety are common after a myocardial infarction (MI). Internet-based cognitive behavioral therapy (iCBT) has shown good results in other patient groups. Objective: The aim was to evaluate the effectiveness of an iCBT treatment to reduce selfreported symptoms of depression and anxiety among patients with a recent MI. Methods: In total, 3928 patients were screened for eligibility in 25 Swedish hospitals. Of these, 239 patients (33% women, mean age 60 years) with a recent MI and symptoms of depression or anxiety were randomly allocated to a therapist-guided, 14 week iCBT treatment (n=117), or treatment as usual (n=122). The iCBT treatment was designed for post MI patients. The primary outcome was the total score of the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) 14 weeks post baseline, assessed online. Treatment effect was evaluated according to the intention-to-treat principle, with multiple imputations. For the main analysis, a pooled treatment effect was estimated, controlling for age, sex, and baseline HADS. Results: There was a reduction in HADS scores over time in the total study sample (mean = -5.1, Δ P < .001) but no difference between the study groups at follow-up ( β = -0.47 [95% confidence interval, -1.95 to 1.00], P = .53). Treatment adherence was low. 46% of the iCBT group did not complete the introductory module. Conclusions: iCBT treatment for an MI population did not result in lower levels of symptoms of depression or anxiety compared to treatment as usual. Low treatment adherence might have influenced the result.
