Depression and anxiety are among the most common mental health outcomes experienced by young individuals with type 2 diabetes. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) has been proven to be an effective intervention for depression and anxiety. This review shall summarize the evidence for the effectiveness of CBT for depression and/or anxiety among adolescents with type 2 diabetes. This systematic review aims to summarize evidence for the effectiveness of cognitive behavioral therapy compared to treatment as usual or no treatment on improving depression and anxiety in adolescents with type 2 diabetes. To be included in the review, a study design must be used to test the effectiveness of CBT on depression and/or anxiety in adolescents with type 2 diabetes. Also, studies must be published in peer-reviewed journals in the English language between 2014 and 2023. Studies examining the effectiveness of CBT for conditions other than depression and/or anxiety shall be excluded. The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) protocol and guideline checklist (2020) shall be used to select studies for this systematic review. A comprehensive search shall be conducted on electronic databases such as APAPsycINFO, APA PsycARTICLES, CINAHL, and MEDLINE to identify studies that fit the selection criteria. Data to be extracted for analysis shall include the study aim, sample, research design, intervention modality, comparators, and outcomes. Two independent authors shall perform data extraction. An acceptable checklist for randomized controlled trials and quasi-experimental studies will be used to assess the quality of the studies.
