This randomized controlled trial (RCT) investigated whether a transdiagnostic, unguided ICBT programme for anxiety disorders is effective in primary care settings, after a face-to-face consultation with a physician (MD). We hypothesized that care as usual (CAU) plus unguided ICBT would be superior to CAU in reducing anxiety and related symptoms among patients with social anxiety disorder (SAD), panic disorder with or without agoraphobia (PDA) and\/or generalized anxiety disorder (GAD).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec id=\"S0033291716002270_sec_a2\" sec-type=\"methods\">\n                    <jats:title>Method<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      Adults (\n                      <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u00a0=\u00a0139) with at least one of these anxiety disorders, as reported by their MD and confirmed by a structured diagnostic interview, were randomized. Unguided ICBT was provided by a novel transdiagnostic ICBT programme (\u2018velibra\u2019). Primary outcomes were generic measures, such as anxiety and depression symptom severity, and diagnostic status at post-treatment (9 weeks). Secondary outcomes included anxiety disorder-specific measures, quality of life, treatment adherence, satisfaction, and general psychiatric symptomatology at follow-up (6 months after randomization).\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec id=\"S0033291716002270_sec_a3\" sec-type=\"results\">\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      CAU plus unguided ICBT was more effective than CAU at post-treatment, with small to medium between-group effect sizes on primary (Cohen's\n                      <jats:italic>d<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u00a0=\u00a00.41\u20130.47) and secondary (Cohen's\n                      <jats:italic>d<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u00a0=\u00a00.16\u20130.61) outcomes.
