“the…. dropout rate for participants allocated to Deprexis treatment arms in included studies (26.5%)…was markedly lower than the corresponding rate in the MoodGYM meta-analysis (41.3%) (Twomey and O’Reilly, 2016). The lower dropout rates may also reflect the greater acceptability of Deprexis, perhaps owing to its tailoring of content to the unique situation of the user. Indeed, meta-analyses indicate that tailored computerised interventions for various health behaviours are, on average, more effective than standardised interventions (Krebs et al., 2010; Lustria et al., 2013)”
