eCentreClinic - Research Program
A research program developing internet-delivered education and treatment courses targeting symptoms of anxiety, depression, and pain. Our aim is to build and evaluate courses which facilitate quality of life, while teaching practical skills that help people to stay well. In the last four years we have completed 24 clinical trials with more than 1600 Australian adults. We have recently partnered with beyondblue to build online courses for older adults. We have just completed two pilot studies, targeting symptoms of anxiety and depression, with very encouraging results. In late August we will be running larger clinical trials of similar courses. In mid 2012 these courses will then become available from our website for the public, but first we need to carefully evaluate them. My team and I believe these courses have enormous potential for helping people overcome disabling symptoms, and then staying well.
