Improving Access to Psychological Therapies (IAPT) in the United Kingdom: A systematic review and meta-analysis of 10-years of practice-based evidence.

CONCLUSIONS: Current evidence suggests that IAPT enables access to broadly effective evidence-based psychological therapies for large numbers of patients. The limitations of the review and the clinical and methodological implications are discussed. PRACTITIONER POINTS: IAPT interventions are associated with large pre-post treatment effect sizes in depression and anxiety measures. IAPT interventions are associated with moderate treatment effect sizes with regards to work and social adjustment. A reduction in dropout and also the prevention of post-treatment relapse via the offer of follow-up support are important areas for future development.
