| Measure | Time frame |

| The purpose of this study is to gather initial qualitative feedback on the integrated CBT platform. Clinical outcomes are not evaluated as part of this study. Qualitative feedback on the integrated CBT platform will be assessed as detailed below. 1. Patients in the longitudinal study will be interviewed by a researcher after their second or third therapy session, and again once they have completed therapy. Those who withdraw from therapy or are discharged for non-attendance will also be interviewed. The purpose of the qualitative interviews is to gather initial views on the platform, its content, and the experience with this integrated approach to delivering CBT. The System Usability Scale (SUS) will also be used to guide discussion of the platform. 2. Therapists and clinical supervisors will provide ongoing feedback regarding their experience of the platform. Data collection methods will include design discussion sessions, individual interviews and focus groups, and use of the System Usability Scale (SUS). 3. The usability testing sessions will be task-oriented and analysed qualitatively and results summarised by the task they relate to. Types of issues will be counted to identify the most common and most serious ones. The SUS scores will be analysed and interpreted. | — |
