Trials evaluating such interventions differ in their screening procedures and in the amount of clinician contact in the diagnostic assessment phase. The present study evaluates the impact of a pre-treatment diagnostic interview on the outcome of an Internet-based treatment for Social Anxiety Disorder (SAD). <jats:bold>Method:<\/jats:bold> One hundred and nine participants seeking treatment for SAD were randomized to either an interview-group (IG, <jats:italic>N<\/jats:italic> = 53) or to a non-interview group (NIG, <jats:italic>N<\/jats:italic> = 56). All participants took part in the same 10-week cognitive-behavioural unguided self-help programme. Before receiving access to the programme, participants of the IG underwent a structured diagnostic interview. Participants of the NIG started directly with the programme. <jats:bold>Results:<\/jats:bold> Participants in both groups showed significant and substantial improvement on social anxiety measures from pre- to post-assessment (<jats:italic>d<\/jats:italic><jats:sub>IG<\/jats:sub> = 1.30\u20131.63; <jats:italic>d<\/jats:italic><jats:sub>NIG<\/jats:sub> = 1.00\u20131.28) and from pre- to 4-month follow-up assessment (<jats:italic>d<\/jats:italic><jats:sub>IG<\/jats:sub> = 1.38\u20131.87; <jats:italic>d<\/jats:italic><jats:sub>NIG<\/jats:sub> = 1.10\u20131.21). Significant between-groups effects in favour of the IG were found on secondary outcome measures of depression and general distress (<jats:italic>d<\/jats:italic> = 0.18\u20130.42). <jats:bold>Conclusions:<\/jats:bold> These findings suggest that Internet-based self-help is effective in treating SAD, whether or not a diagnostic interview is involved. However, the pre-treatment interview seems to facilitate change on secondary outcomes such as depression and general distress.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1017\/s1352465812000501","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2012,7,17]],"date-time":"2012-07-17T11:42:21Z","timestamp":1342525341000},"page":"513-528","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":55,"title":["Does a Pre-Treatment Diagnostic Interview Affect the Outcome of Internet-Based Self-Help for Social Anxiety Disorder?
