Evaluation of additional resources and stories within therapist-assisted internet-delivered cognitive behaviour therapy for alcohol misuse
The findings suggest that adding resources and stories to ICBT is acceptable and worthwhile. A significant number of patients reviewed these materials and found them informative and/or helpful, which suggests it is likely valuable to retain these resources for those in need. Reading stories and positive ratings of stories, rather than use and positive ratings of additional resources, was associated with increased satisfaction and some larger improvements on secondary outcomes. Further research is warranted to identify strategies that will more effectively engage patients with additional resources tailored to their specific needs.
