A major limitation, however, is that the script cannot be easily modified. <jats:bold>Aims:<\/jats:bold> The current study assessed the feasibility of a brief guided internet-based written exposure therapy (iWET) for hypothetical fears, <jats:italic>Mind at Peace<\/jats:italic>. <jats:bold>Method:<\/jats:bold> Fifty-three adults presenting clinical levels of anxiety (GAD-7 \u2265 8) and worry (PSWQ \u2265 45) were recruited. A single group pre-test\/post-test design including a 3-month follow-up was used. <jats:italic>Mind at Peace<\/jats:italic> is a 6-week iWET consisting of psychoeducation and five 30-minute weekly writing exposure sessions. Feasibility outcome measures included treatment adherence, attrition, treatment acceptability and preliminary efficacy. Primary outcome measures were the Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7 (GAD-7) and the Penn State Worry Questionnaire (PSWQ). <jats:bold>Results:<\/jats:bold> Attrition was higher (57%) and adherence lower (28%) than expected. Intent-to-treat repeated measures ANOVAs revealed significant and large improvements on the GAD-7 (\u019e<jats:sub>p<\/jats:sub><jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup> = 0.36) and the PSWQ (\u019e<jats:sub>p<\/jats:sub><jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup> = 0.23) with similar findings among study completers. Remission rates were higher on the GAD-7 than on the PSWQ, suggesting that <jats:italic>Mind at Peace<\/jats:italic> may primarily target general symptoms of generalized anxiety. Rates of acceptability varied, but nearly all study completers reported that they would recommend this treatment to a friend. C<jats:bold>onclusions:<\/jats:bold> This study provided valuable information on <jats:italic>Mind at Peace<\/jats:italic>. Methodological changes are proposed to improve its feasibility. A more definitive trial incorporating suggested methodological improvements is recommended.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1017\/s1352465818000693","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,1,14]],"date-time":"2019-01-14T07:39:24Z","timestamp":1547451564000},"page":"462-477","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["A
