Research

My research project is named C.A.L.L. : Controlling Anxiety in Late Life. The main goal of this project is to conduct a RCT  to evaluate the (cost)effectiveness of a blended treatment  for older adults with anxiety complaints. This low-treshold intervention combines the online self-help program ‘Living Life to The Full’ with a limited amount of face-to-face contacts with a counselor.
