Cluster RCT of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to Support Caregivers of Older Adults in Hong Kong
This study is completed. It focuses on depression and currently lists study information in China.
DepressionOtherOver 18 Years
Key information made simple
This study exists to compare options and see whether cognitive behavioural therapy, a structured talking treatment, offers something meaningfully different. Researchers are trying to understand whether cognitive behavioural therapy, a structured talking treatment, can improve attention, thinking, or day-to-day functioning. For people living with Depression, access and fit can matter just as much as the treatment itself. If the findings are useful, they could lead to earlier recognition and more informed decisions later on. Taking part helps build the evidence that can improve understanding and care for others over time.
Your next step
The official record suggests a mix of remote and in-person participation through a university, with sites including Sau Po Center on Ageing HKU in Hong Kong. Participation appears to involve questionnaires, interviews, or regular check-ins about day-to-day experience. The main fit is usually meeting the main study requirements, while common reasons not to take part include active substance or alcohol problems that could affect the results and other factors that could make participation unsuitable. The official record does not list a formal phase, which usually means this is focused more on feasibility, delivery, or support than a standard drug-development stage.
