Summary

Symptoms of anxiety and depression are common in adolescents and young adults with chronic illnesses and are associated with decreased adherence to medical regimens. However, many young patients go untreated for anxiety and depression. The purpose of this study is to evaluate an online cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) program in young adults with chronic illness. Prior research has shown online CBT to be effective in multiple other populations, but to the investigators' knowledge, this is the first study to examine web-based CBT for young adults with chronic illnesses.

BEHAVIORAL

Web-based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy

Participants will be asked to complete a web-based cognitive behavioral therapy "self-help" program. The program consists of six weekly modules, in which participants practice new ways of thinking (e.g. how to recognize and change distorted thinking, utilizing a thought change record, identifying cognitive errors, and modifying automatic thoughts) to reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression. Participants receive text message reminders to complete the weekly session.
