Article Synopsis
- Internet-based mental health interventions, such as ASCENSO, aim to improve access to care for depression, especially when combined with traditional therapy (blended care), though their effectiveness in this context is still under investigation.
- The study involved 167 adults with major depressive disorder in Chile, with half receiving ASCENSO alongside standard treatment (TAU) and the other half just TAU.
- The outcomes measured include reductions in depressive symptoms and improvements in quality of life, evaluated through online assessments and mental health center records over a period of 6 to 9 months.
