Comparison of electronic cognitive behavioural therapy to other treatment modalities at a specialized mental health hospital

There is a need for research on electronic CBT (eCBT) in real-world settings, particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic as access to face-to-face treatment is limited. Understanding the challenges in delivering eCBT will be crucial for improving access to care during the current pandemic, and in preparing a response to future pandemics. The intern will lead an evaluation and continuous improvement of the eCBT program at Ontario Shores Centre for Mental Health Sciences. This project will involve three phases: (1) A comparison of client characteristics and outcomes in different modalities of CBT (individual face-to-face, group, eCBT, and mixed); (2) an analysis of client adherence to treatment; and (3) an economic evaluation of eCBT compared face-to-face treatment.
