Internet-based cognitive behavioral therapy for tinnitus in the United States (ICBT study): Pre-intervention cross-sectional data

This data set was generated as a part of the clinical trial to examine the efficacy of the Internet-based cognitive behavioural therapy (ICBT) for tinnitus distress in the US population (Clinicaltrials.gov registration numbers NCT04004260 &amp; NCT04335812). Various recruitment strategies including distributing study flyers in ENT and audiology clinics across the south-east Texas, advertising in the social media (e.g., American Tinnitus Association Facebook page) and television media were used. This pre-intervention cross-sectional data include data of individuals who were trying to enrol in an ICBT trial. Most of the individuals in this data went on to participate in a pilot trial which examined the feasibility, an RCT which examined the efficacy of ICBT (NCT04004260), or an efficacy trial that compared the ICBT intervention with applied relaxation (IRA) interventions (NCT04335812).<br>The attached documents include the dataset, demographic questionnaire and metadata which provide additional details about the dataset.<br>
