Compliance with Ethical Standards
: The institutional review board (IRB) of Children’s Hospital of Wisconsin declared this study exempt from review due to its principal designation as a quality improvement project given its main purpose of tailoring an evidence-based treatment intervention specifically to patients within the CHW Cystic Fibrosis Clinic. To ensure the safety of patients, patients were prevented from engaging in Project CT Teen and instead offered individual face-to-face psychotherapy if they had been diagnosed with an intellectual disability, had limited receptive or expressive English capabilities, had attempted suicide or homicide within the past year, had been hospitalized for psychiatric reasons within the past year, or endorsed current suicidal or homicidal ideation. All patients and parents who participated in this project completed an informed consent specific to telepsychotherapy that emphasized both the risks and benefits of engaging in this type of intervention, as well as informed consent for general mental health treatment.
