Evidence-Based Mental Health at Scale: Benchmarking Retrospective Cohort Study of a Digital Employee Benefits Program for Depression and Anxiety
Among a large and diverse sample, using a digital mental health benefit with a centralized system of care produces clinical outcomes in depression and anxiety significantly greater than what is typically observed through meta-analyses of psychotherapy. By using data to monitor, incentivize, and improve quality of care, the clinical outcomes outperform or equal benchmarks as a growing number of individuals across race, gender, and age access mental health care.
