Brief summary
The purpose of this study was to assess the effect of Internet-based self-help for depression among senior high-school students, and to assess whether weekly e-mail reminders would enhance adherence to the intervention. We hypothesised that students adhering to the intervention would show less depressive symptoms. We also expected less attrition among students receiving weekly reminders.
