  • Step-by-Step, an E-Mental Health Intervention for Depression

    Open AccessMelissa Joanne Harper Shehadeh, Jinane Abi Ramia et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Psychiatry2020

    Step-by-Step skills and techniques, model of service integration, and its non-specialist support element are acceptable. Though the sample was small and non-controlled and drop-out was high, results suggest that it may be effective in reducing depression and anxiety symptoms and increasing well-being. Lessons learned will inform content revision, the development of an app version of Step-by-Step, and the research methodology of upcoming effective…
