Transdiagnostic Internet-delivered cognitive behaviour therapy (ICBT) for patients experiencing anxiety and depression can produce large improvements in symptoms. Comorbid insomnia is common among individuals seeking treatment for anxiety and depression, yet transdiagnostic ICBT rarely targets insomnia and many ICBT patients report that symptoms of...

Patients seeking transdiagnostic internet-delivered cognitive behavior therapy (T-ICBT) for anxiety or depression often have sleep difficulties. A brief resource that includes sleep psychoeducation and strategies for improving sleep (e.g., stimulus control and sleep restriction) may address comorbid insomnia without the need for an insomnia-specifi...

Background Research shows that alcohol and drug use among mental health clients is common and has the potential to negatively impact treatment outcomes. Internet-delivered cognitive behavior therapy (ICBT) as a treatment for anxiety and depression is on the rise, but little is known about the prevalence of alcohol and drug use among clients and how...

Although Internet-delivered cognitive behaviour therapy (ICBT) for alcohol misuse is efficacious in research trials, it is not routinely available in practice. Moreover, there is considerable variability in engagement and outcomes of ICBT for alcohol misuse across studies. The Alcohol Change Course (ACC) is an ICBT program that is offered free of c...

Two personality dimensions of the HEXACO model—Honesty-Humility and Openness—have previously been found to correlate with left-wing political orientation. From a cross-sectional dataset divided into samples from the USA (N = 77,778) and other countries (N = 105,232), the Openness/politics link showed a linear upward trend across age cohorts, wherea...

The relations of HEXACO personality factors and religiosity with political orientation were examined in responses collected online from participants in 33 countries (N = 141 492). Endorsement of a right‐wing political orientation was negatively associated with Honesty‐Humility and Openness to Experience and positively associated with religiosity. T...

Internet-delivered cognitive behavioral therapy (ICBT) is effective for treating anxiety and depression, but not for all patients. Predictors of dropout and outcomes from ICBT remain unclear and the literature could benefit from study of response to ICBT among larger community samples using advanced statistical techniques. In this study, we sought...

Patients seeking ICBT for depression and or anxiety in routine care were randomize...
