Components of smartphone cognitive-behavioural therapy for subthreshold depression among 1093 university students: a factorial trial

Conclusions
There was significant reduction in depression for all participants regardless of the presence and absence of the examined iCBT components.

Clinical implication
We cannot yet make evidence-based recommendations for specific iCBT components. We suggest that future iCBT optimisation research should scrutinise the amount and structure of components to examine.
