Evaluation of a Web-Based Self-Help Intervention for Patients With Generalized Anxiety Disorder: Protocol for a Randomized Controlled Trial

Generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) is characterized by generalized and persistent excessive worry about various aspects of the past, present, or future without being confined to specific environmental conditions [1]. GAD can lead to severe distress and limitations in the daily lives of those affected [2] and is often associated with comorbid depressive disorders [3]. Subsequently, GAD poses an economic challenge to the health care system [4,5]. Lifetime prevalence is estimated at 6.2% [6].

To our knowledge, this is the first study to examine the relation between online activity pertaining to COVID-19 and GAD-7 scores in a US sample, and may help augment our understanding of the mental health consequences of the current pandemic.
