Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Primary hypotheses are that compared both to TAU, YBT (+TAU) will show greater long-term (H1.1) reductions in clinician-administered (Hamilton Depression and Anxiety Rating Scales) and self-report (Depression Anxiety Stress Scales) measures of depression and (H1.2) cost-effectiveness. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Secondary hypotheses are that YBT effects are partially mediated by cognitive mechanisms, including (H2.1) brooding and (H2.2) self-criticism. Exploratory analyses will examine potential moderators of YBT. | — |
