The ability to schedule when you want (as opposed to a therapist who only has a slot at 2:30 on Thursdays) is another benefit, especially compared to in-person therapy you need to travel to. I have a pet peeve about studies that don’t count the cost to beneficiaries of taking time off work, or whatever else they’d be doing with their time, to travel to and from an appointment during the workday.
Yes! This came up in a different way in some of the Step-By-Step studies. Beneficiaries only had to take a phone call, but since it was during the work day this might’ve had a selection effect on recruitment (many of the participants in those studies were housewives).
