An internet-based cognitive-behavioural training for acute tinnitus : secondary analysis of acceptance in terms of satisfaction , trial attrition and non-usage attrition . OBJECTIVES Recent studies on tinnitus have focused on the efficacy of Internet-based interventions . Other core features of the quality of service , e.g . acceptance and attrition , have often been overlooked . This study analyses Internet-based training regarding acceptance and attrition in a trial on minimal-contact interventions for acute tinnitus . Whenever possible , we give information on other forms of training for comparison . METHODS In a randomised controlled trial with 337 participants , 87 persons took part in the Internet training . RESULTS The participants were as satisfied with the Internet-based training as with a face-to-face group training . There was a 34.48 % dropout from the Internet-based training ( dropout attrition ) . The training attrition from the Internet-based training was even higher at 64.4 % . CONCLUSIONS Two out of three indicators for acceptance-satisfaction and dropout attrition-provide comparable results between the Internet-based training and a face-to-face group training . The third indicator , training attrition , shows a better result for the group training . Future research should focus on attrition in order to enhance the overall effectiveness of training .
