COBRA (Cost and outcome of behavioural activation): a randomised controlled trial of behavioural activation versus cognitive behaviour therapy for depression

Depression kills more people in the UK through suicide than any other mental health problem. While drugs are effective, psychological treatments are a popular alternative with patients, with one - cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT) - strongly recommended in health guidelines. CBT, however, has disadvantages such as cost. An alternative, behavioural activation, has been developed to be easier to apply. We aim to investigate its effectiveness and potential economic advantages over CBT.
