Study Design
In this 2-armed randomized controlled trial, 83 patients were randomly assigned to either the message-based psychotherapy group or the video-based psychotherapy group. Consulting therapists screened patients for eligibility criteria by reviewing their screener assessments and conducting a structured clinical interview. The consulting therapist proceeded to consent eligible patients who expressed interest in participating in the study. Before, during, and 6 months after receiving the randomly assigned intervention, participants completed various efficacy and acceptability measures.
