Summary

This trial is testing whether computerized cognitive behavioral therapy can help close the gap in psychotherapy access for Veterans with depression who receive care in primary care settings.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for Veterans with depression who can use a computer, internet, telephone, and email. They must be able to read English on-screen and score at least 10 on the PHQ-9 depression scale. It's not for those with conditions like dementia or terminal illness, high suicide risk or active suicidality, or serious mental illnesses like bipolar disorder or psychosis.
What is being tested?
The study tests if adding computerized cognitive behavioral therapy (cCBT) to VA's collaborative care improves access to psychotherapy for primary care patients with depression compared to usual care without cCBT.
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves non-medical interventions such as cCBT and enhanced collaborative care, typical drug side effects are not expected. However, participants may experience discomfort discussing personal issues during therapy sessions.
