Summary
I am a psychologist interested in exploring the potential of using internet-based Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (iCBT) to deliver effective and culturally sensitive treatment to Chinese Australians with depression. My research involves developing and testing the efficacy of iCBT and examining the acceptability of iCBT to both Chinese Australians and their general practitioners. iCBT could be utilised as another strategy for providing services to Chinese Australians and other immigrant groups.
