Abstract Synopsis

  • Subthreshold depression is common and can lead to more severe depressive episodes; CBT therapies are effective but their specific components' contributions were unclear.
  • A smartphone app was developed featuring five CBT skills, and a study recruited 3,936 adults to assess their effectiveness.
  • Results indicated that all CBT skills and their combinations significantly improved depressive symptoms compared to control conditions, highlighting the importance of understanding CBT components for future therapy design.
