Objectives

Narrative objectives1

The purpose of the study is to examine the effectiveness of an internet cognitive-behavioral program for reducing depression and preventing depressive episode, as primary outcomes, among workers with subthreshold depression, in comparison with treatment-as-usual (TAU) (which is minimal contact through in-house Employers Assistance Program (EAP)). The purpose of the study is to examine its effectiveness for increasing work productivity, reducing sick leave, and increasing work engagement, as secondary outcomes.
