55
Q

how well does CBT work ?

A

In high income countries (HICs), CBT approaches have the largest randomised control trial (RCT) evidence base of all psychotherapies, largely due to being easy to package into standardised manuals
○ It’s short + everyone gets the same components of treatment

○ CBT consistently more effective than passive control conditions
○ Often more effective than active control conditions
○ More sustainable treatment gains in the long term than medication
○ Increases treatment gains when supplements medication (vs medication alone)

Q

fill in the blank
Overall, treatment gains for anxiety + depression are maintained after …year
○ Though not all studies include .. follow-ups

true
Groups = cost-effective

60
Q

true or false (justify your answer):
CBT-based interventions (including task-shifting interventions) has not been found to be effective for treating common mental disorders in a range of LMICs

A

false
-they have been found to be effective
-For example, a review of therapies for depression in LMICs found that most were
CBT-based and that these actually had a better effect in LMICs than HICs
● A review of PTSD treatments for refugees in LMICs found that most treatments were
CBT-based and these were effective in significantly reducing PTSD symptoms

61
Q

therapies for depression in LMICs found that most were CBT-based and that these had a better effect in LMICs than HICs-why may there be this difference?

A

this difference may be due to weaker control conditions in LMICs but, even so, CBT is at
least as effective in LMICs than HICs

62
Q

name 2 ways to culturally adapt CBT interventions

A

○ Community-based participatory research should be used to identify aspects of
the interventions that need to be adapted for each cultural context
