Individuals with Cystic Fibrosis (CF) are at high risk for depression and anxiety, with negative consequences for quality of life, ability to carry out daily CF treatments, and health. CF Foundation and European CF Society guidelines recommend routine screening, treatment, and preventative efforts for depression and anxiety. Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) interventions focused on teaching coping skills have a large evidence-base for prevention and treatment of depression and anxiety, but there are barriers to accessing these interventions for individuals with CF. Drs. Friedman and Georgiopoulos at Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) have developed a CF-specific CBT-based preventive intervention for depression and anxiety with input from adults with CF and CF healthcare team members, called CF-CBT: A cognitive-behavioral skills-based program to promote emotional well-being for adults with CF, along with a training and supervision program for CF team interventionists. CF-CBT consists of 8 45-minute modules that can be flexibly delivered in the outpatient CF clinic, on the inpatient unit, or by telephone, by multidisciplinary members of the CF care team, minimizing additional cost and burden of care to patients. The goal of this study is to test CF-CBT in 60 adults screening in the mild range on measures of depression and anxiety at 4 CF centers, in a prospective randomized clinical trial comparing the intervention to usual treatment. Participants will be randomized to receive the CF-CBT intervention immediately, or to a 3-month waitlist control followed by intervention. The study will measure depression, anxiety, quality of life, stress, and coping self-efficacy before and after the CF-CBT intervention, and also 3 and 6 months post-intervention.

| CF-CBT: A Cognitive-Behavioral Skills-Based Program to Promote Emotional Well-Being for Adults wtih Cystic Fibrosis | Behavioral | CF-CBT is an 8-session program introducing cognitive-behavioral coping skills for managing stress, and for prevention and treatment of anxiety and depression. The content of the program was developed to address stressors related to coping with cystic fibrosis. Participants will receive a patient workbook, and meet with a trained member of the CF team (interventionist) who will guide them through learning and practicing coping skills during 8 weekly sessions. |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Change from baseline in Depressive symptoms measured by the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9) | The PHQ-9 consists of nine questions measuring frequency of depressive symptoms, rated on a Likert scale from 0 "not at all" to 3 "nearly every day," with total score ranging 0-27. Clinical severity scores have been established with scores of 5, 10, 15, and 20 representing cut-off scores for mild, moderate, moderately severe, and severe depression, respectively. | 3 months (Baseline to Pre-intervention) for the waitlist control group; immediately post-intervention (2 to 3 months from pre-CBT assessment) for both arms; 3 months and 6 months post-intervention for both arms |
| Change from baseline in Anxiety symptoms measured by the Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7 item scale (GAD-7) | The GAD-7 is a 7-item measure of symptoms of anxiety. Likert scale ratings allow total scores of 0-21. Scores of 5, 10, and 15 correspond to severity ratings of mild, moderate and severe anxiety. | 3 months (Baseline to Pre-intervention) for the waitlist control group; immediately post-intervention (2 to 3 months from pre-CBT assessment) for both arms; 3 months and 6 months post-intervention for both arms |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Treatment acceptability as measured by item and total score summation on the Client Satisfaction Questionnaire (CSQ-8) with additional study-specific items | The Client Satisfaction Questionnaire (CSQ-8) is an 8-item self-report measure that assesses patient service satisfaction,rated on a 4-point scale from 1=lowest to 4=highest satisfaction. Post-intervention treatment satisfaction will also be assessed with a series of structured and open-ended questions specific to the study intervention. Assessed one time immediately post-intervention. |

| Waitlist Control | Behavioral | Participants receive usual care for 3 months followed by CF-CBT. CF-CBT is an 8-session program introducing cognitive-behavioral coping skills for managing stress, and for prevention and treatment of anxiety and depression. The content of the program was developed to address stressors related to coping with cystic fibrosis. Participants will receive a patient workbook, and meet with a trained member of the CF team (interventionist) who will guide them through learning and practicing coping skills during 8 weekly sessions. |

| Immediately post-intervention |
| Change from baseline in Perceived Stress measured by the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS) | The PSS is a 10-item measure assessing the degree to which individuals perceive that current demands exceed their abilities to cope | 3 months (Baseline to Pre-intervention) for the waitlist control group; immediately post-intervention (2 to 3 months from pre-CBT assessment) for both arms; 3 months and 6 months post-intervention for both arms |
| Change from baseline in Cystic Fibrosis Health-Related Quality of Life measured by the adult/teen version of the Cystic Fibrosis Questionnaire-Revised (CFQ-R). | The CFQ-R is a well-established measure of health-related quality of life (HrQoL). The CFQ-R contains 12 subscales, with five scales measuring physical HrQoL (Physical Functioning - 8 items; Eating Disturbances -3 items; Vitality -4 items; Respiratory - 6 items; Digestion -3 items) and seven measuring psychosocial HrQoL (e.g, Health Perceptions -3 items, Treatment Burden -3 items; Emotional Functioning - 5 items; Social Functioning -6 items; Body Image -3 items; Role Functioning - 4-items). Items are rated on 4-point Likert scale with higher scores reflecting better quality of life. Scaled scores are obtained for each subscale. | 3 months (Baseline to Pre-intervention) for the waitlist control group; immediately post-intervention (2 to 3 months from pre-CBT assessment) for both arms; 3 months and 6 months post-intervention for both arms |
| Change from baseline in Coping Self-Efficacy measured by the CF Coping Self-Efficacy Measure developed for this study | The CF Coping Self-Efficacy measure includes 25 items and was developed for this study to assess patient-reported confidence in their ability to use CBT coping skills that are introduced in the CF-CBT intervention to manage general stressors and those related to having CF. Each item is rated on a 10-point Likert scale from 10 to 100 from "very uncertain" to "very certain" about the ability to use each skill , with higher scores indicating greater confidence in being able to use coping skills. Mean scores are obtained for each of 5 proposed subscales (Relaxation; Behavioral Activation; Adaptive Thinking/Cognitive Restructuring; Active Coping/Problem-Solving; and CF-Specific Coping). | 3 months (Baseline to Pre-intervention) for the waitlist control group; immediately post-intervention (2 to 3 months from pre-CBT assessment) for both arms; 3 months and 6 months post-intervention for both arms |
| Feasibility of the intervention will be indicated by Rate of Attrition, or rate of drop-out or non-completion of the CF-CBT program once enrolled | Rate of attrition will be summarized by calculating the percentage of CF-CBT sessions completed by participants over the course of the study period. The CF-CBT program consists of 8 sessions, and the proposed sample size of the study will be 60 participants, such that an Attrition Rate of 0% would be calculated if all 480 CF-CBT sessions were completed. | From baseline to post-intervention (2 to 3 months for the immediate intervention arm; 5 to 6 months for the waitlist arm) |
| Feasibility of the intervention will also be indicated by Treatment Fidelity, measured as percent adherence to general and CF-CBT session-specific objectives. | Treatment Fidelity will be rated independently for a random 20% of CF-CBT sessions. Each session that is rated will have a general objectives and session-specific objectives rating. The general objectives rating includes 6 items rated on a 6-point Likert scale from "poor/not at all" to "Excellent," with total score ranging from 0-36. Session-specific objectives will include between 5 and 7 items that are dichotomous indicating whether or not (yes/no) a specific objective was met. A percentage of the possible total will be calculated for both general and session-specific objectives for each rated session. All CF-CBT sessions will be recorded so that a random 20% may be independently rated. The initial 8 sessions for each newly trained interventionist will be excluded from analysis. | 2 years and 3 months (Over the course of the study period) |
