Guided Self-help for Common Mental Disorders
NCT04870099 · View on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
Study Summary
Common mental disorders (CMDs) like depression and anxiety account for a large proportion of disability worldwide. Access to effective treatments like cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) is limited and has not reduced the public health burden of psychopathology. For patients with mild-moderate CMDs, lower-intensity treatments like guided self-help CBT (GSH-CBT) are effective and more scalable (e.g., via the internet). The advent of social media has opened avenues for dissemination of GSH-CBTs and allows for passive sensing of mood, thinking, behavior, and social networks. We propose to leverage a social media platform used by over a fifth of the United States (Twitter) as a recruitment tool to virtually screen over 150 individuals, recruit N=60 to a 5-week course of GSH-CBT, and extract social media data from individuals engaged in GSH-CBT. Sociodemographic and social media data will be used to predict engagement, outcomes, and processes in GSH-CBT.

Full Details on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗What the Registry Record Tells You About NCT04870099
The ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry for NCT04870099 describes a study currently listed as completed. It is categorized as NA, which is the standard way researchers label where a study sits along the investigational pathway from early safety work through later efficacy and post-marketing evaluation. The registered enrollment target is 141 participants, a figure that helps gauge the scale of data the investigators plan to collect. The listed sponsor is Indiana University, which has 1,026 total studies on file at ClinicalTrials.gov, and sponsors are the parties responsible for study design, oversight, and regulatory filings.
The record links to 1 condition, with Bibliotherapy appearing as the primary indexed condition, and to 1 intervention — of which Doing What Matters in Times of Stress: An Illustrated Guide is the first listed. Interventions can include drugs, devices, procedures, behavioral programs, or observational arms, and each is tracked as a separate registry field so that downstream queries can filter accurately. When a trial lists multiple interventions, it usually reflects a multi-arm design or a comparison protocol rather than a single treatment being tested in isolation. The brief summary published in the registry is the clearest source of protocol intent and should be read before drawing conclusions from any sidebar tags.
Geographic footprint matters for practical reasons: NCT04870099 reports 1 study location spanning 1 distinct geographic area — top geographies include Indiana. A larger site network tends to correlate with broader recruitment capacity, but it does not imply anything about study quality, and site-level enrollment status can diverge from the overall registry status shown above. Every data point on this page comes from the public ClinicalTrials.gov dataset and is reproduced here for reference only; it is not a medical recommendation, an endorsement of the sponsor, or an invitation to enroll.
