Who could benefit from this research
✓Could help
Mental health professionals wanting to provide exposure therapy to patients with anxiety disorders.
✕Less likely to help
Patients treated by therapists who do not use exposure therapy or who work in settings where the platform is not available may not benefit.
What this research studies
This project aims to create and test an automated e-learning platform that teaches therapists how to deliver exposure therapy. It builds on previously developed training content and uses active-learning techniques to enhance scalability and accessibility. The goal is to help more clinicians provide effective exposure therapy to patients with anxiety disorders, even in settings with limited access to in-person training.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, clinicians will gain scalable, convenient training to deliver exposure therapy, improving care for people with anxiety disorders.
How similar studies have gone: Previous training modules have shown promise, and this project extends them with automated e-learning for wider reach.
