| Abstract |
In my talk, I will present a new unguided intervention for depression via the
web and mobile phone. The intervention is based on activity scheduling, a
therapy that has been proven to be very successful. The new intervention called
BAS (Behavioral Activity Scheduling) is different from the original intervention
in two ways. First, BAS is offered via a website and a mobile phone program.
Second, BAS is an unguided version of the therapy with automated feedback and
reminders.
We have just finished a first pilot study with a small group of VU students. I
will present some preliminary results of this study. |
