Summary

This trial looks at whether ICBT (a form of therapy delivered via the internet) is effective for treating PTSD, anxiety, and depression in Canadian public safety personnel.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for Canadian public safety personnel in Saskatchewan, aged 18 or older, who are experiencing symptoms of post-traumatic stress. Participants must have internet access and agree to provide a physician contact. It's not suitable for those with recent suicide attempts, hospitalization, substance abuse issues, psychosis or mania, ongoing psychological treatment, or high suicide risk.
What is being tested?
The study tests two online cognitive behavioural therapy courses tailored for PTSD and related mental health issues like anxiety and depression among public safety workers. The goal is to see which course works better for symptom improvement and how participants engage with the online format.
What are the potential side effects?
While ICBT typically has fewer side effects than medication, some may experience discomfort discussing traumatic events or temporary increases in distress as they work through the therapy material.
