Scheduled telephone support improves adherence to and outcomes of internet cognitive behavioral therapy for depression in patients at risk for drop-out: a pragmatic randomized controlled trial

Scheduled telephone support (STS) may improve adherence and outcomes but, as it is time- and resource-consuming, should be reserved for patients for whom the usual support may be insufficient.
