The Appalachian Mind Health Initiative is seeking adults in Kentucky and West Virginia to assist with studies regarding at-home depression treatment. This alternative therapy resource focuses on depressed individuals in rural areas that are lacking psychiatric specialists. Dr. Robert Bassar assures their electronic cognitive behavioral therapy produces satisfactory results. So we know that most, the majority of people who live in rural communities do not have access to a trained mental health provider. A lot of people getting care for depression from their primary care provider. That's great, but there's a shortage of therapists. There are online tools now that work. There's evidence they've been studied. So the goal of this study is to test an evidence-based online treatment platform for residents of rural areas to figure out not only, so we know it works. The question is who does it work for and how we can figure it to make it sure it works as well as it can for as many people as we can. Those who wish to join the initiative have the option to participate at their own pace rather than have someone guide them through it. However, patients are allowed to see a regular therapist at the same time. With our program, with our treatment modules, the participant goes in, looks at the activities, does them on their own schedule. The principles of the treatment, the actual treatment that they're getting is essentially the same. The only difference is who's controlling it. And at home therapy, it's the users that controls it. They do the activities. When they went, they can go back and revisit activities. If they find something that's useful for them, they can continue to use that tool. Not that a therapist wouldn't do the same thing, but it's much more at the direction and pace of the user for someone who's using an online treatment modality.
