Self-management support for anxiety: analysis of secondary data from a randomized clinical trial

Project Description

Our research team conducted a large randomized clinical trial of a self-management support program for anxiety delivered in a group format on a web-based platform. The main results (n = 414) show that offering this intervention as an adjunct to usual care leads to a moderate reduction in anxiety symptoms, with maintenance of progress up to 12 months. But what about secondary outcomes such as quality of life, depressive symptoms, maintenance of progress at 24 months, predictors and moderators, personal recovery, or service utilization? Your research project could answer these questions! 

Depending on your training and interests, various secondary quantitative data analysis projects could be carried out. A qualitative research project could also be considered to explore issues related to the acceptability of the intervention, its potential for implementation in a healthcare model, etc.
