What Are the Common Epidemiological Methods Used to Study Psychotherapy?
Several epidemiological methods are employed to study psychotherapy, including:
Cross-sectional studies to assess the prevalence of therapy use in a given population. Cohort studies to follow groups over time and determine the long-term effects of psychotherapy. Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) to evaluate the efficacy of different therapeutic approaches. Case-control studies to compare individuals who have received psychotherapy with those who have not.
