There is growing evidence for the effectiveness of internet-delivered cognitive behaviour therapy (ICBT) for post-secondary students with symptoms of depression and anxiety. In ICBT, clients review structured online content over several weeks to learn strategies and skills to manage their symptoms. Low treatment completion rates remain a concern for post-secondary students, so it is possible that existing treatment protocols do not offer enough flexibility for students' needs and preferences.
This trial will examine students' preferences for different course options (fast-track, 5-week, and 8-week) and compare enrollment, adherence, and outcomes of students who pick each of the three options. In all three options, students will receive optional therapist support, in which the assigned therapist only contacts the student on weeks where the student sends the therapist a message. This trial will help inform the delivery of flexible treatment options for post-secondary students in a routine care setting.

The content includes examples that are tailored to students' experiences. Clients have access to diverse additional resources (e.g., managing panic, assertive communication) throughout the course. Clients will receive up to five weeks of optional therapist support.
Behavioral: Wellbeing Course for Students (Fast Track)
Clients who select the 5-week course will receive access to an ICBT course which consists of four lessons spread across the span of five weeks.

Clients have access to diverse additional resources (e.g., managing panic, assertive communication) throughout the course. Clients will receive eight weeks of optional therapist support.
Behavioral: Wellbeing Course (8 weeks)
The core Fast-Track lesson includes information on managing their cycle of symptoms, motivation, and an overview of strategies that can be used to manage symptoms of depression and anxiety. After the core lesson, clients can access three additional Do-It-Yourself guides that focus on thought challenging, controlled breathing/activity planning, and behavioural activation/relapse prevention. These materials are able to be accessed out of sequence on a schedule that suits their needs. With optional therapist support, therapists will respond to any messages that clients send once per week. Therapists will not message clients on weeks where the client does not send a message.
The 5-week course consists of four lessons that provide psychoeducation about: symptom identification and the cognitive behavioural model, thought monitoring and challenging, controlled breathing and pleasant activity scheduling, graded exposure, and relapse prevention. With optional therapist support, therapists will respond to any messages that clients send once per week. Therapists will not message clients on weeks where the client does not send a message.
The 8-week course consists of five lessons that provide psychoeducation about: symptom identification and the cognitive behavioural model, thought monitoring and challenging, controlled breathing and pleasant activity scheduling, graded exposure, and relapse prevention. With optional therapist support, therapists will respond to any messages that clients send once per week. Therapists will not message clients on weeks where the client does not send a message.
Patient Health Questionnaire 9-item (PHQ-9)
Change in depression symptoms. 9 items are summed into a total score, with scores ranging from 0 to 27. Higher scores are associated with higher depression severity.
Time frame: Baseline (screening), weeks 1-5 (Fast-Track and 5-week course), weeks 1-8 (8-week course), and week 16 (all course options)
Generalized Anxiety Disorder 7-item (GAD-7)
Change in anxiety symptoms. 7 items are summed into a total score ranging from 0 to 21, with higher scores indicating more severe self-reported levels of anxiety.
Time frame: Baseline (screening), weeks 1-5 (Fast-Track and 5-week course), weeks 1-8 (8-week course), and week 16 (all course options)
Perceptions of Academic Functioning (PAF)
Change in subjective academic functioning. 3 items are summed into a total score ranging from 0 to 30, with higher scores indicating higher perceived functioning.
Time frame: Baseline (screening), weeks 1-5 (Fast-Track and 5-week course), weeks 1-8 (8-week course), and week 16 (all course options)
Credibility and Expectancy Questionnaire (CEQ)
Measure of treatment credibility. Three items range from 0-9 with higher scores indicating better outcome.
Time frame: Baseline (screening), week 5 (Fast-Track and 5-week course), week 8 (8-week course)
Treatment Satisfaction
Measure includes 19 questions assessing satisfaction with various aspects of Internet-CBT and also negative effects of treatment
Time frame: Week 5 (Fast-Track and 5-week course); Week 8 (8-week course)
Work and Social Adjustment Scale (WSAS)

Time frame: Baseline (screening), week 5 (Fast-Track and 5-week course), week 8 (8-week course)
Alcohol Use Disorder Identification Test (AUDIT)
A 10-item screening tool to assess alcohol consumption. Items 1 to 8 are scored on a scale ranging from 0 to 4. Items 9 and 10 are scored on a three-point scale (0, 2, or 4). Scores from 10 items are summed with possible scores ranging from 0 to 40 and higher scores indicating a higher likelihood of problematic alcohol consumption.
Time frame: Baseline (screening)
Drug Use Disorder Identification Test (DUDIT)
An 11-item screening tool to assess problematic drug use. Items 1 to 9 are scored on a scale ranging from 0 to 4. Items 10 and 11 are scored as a 0, 2, or 4. Total scores for the DUDIT range from 0 to 44 with higher scores suggesting problematic drug use.
Time frame: Baseline (screening)
Started Nov 2020 (actual). Primary completion is estimated for Apr 2027, 77 months after the start.
Of 3,468 non-industry interventional studies with no phase under Depression, half reached primary completion within 21 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 10 and three quarters within 41. This study's planned 77 months is above that.
Counting every sponsor, half of 3,566 studies reached it within 21 months; a quarter within 9 and three quarters within 41.
