Why shouldn't it matter? The mode of delivery of treatment always affects treatment outcomes. The more unpleasant or arduous it is to receive a treatment, the more likely someone is to not receive the full benefits (because it is natural to resist that which is unpleasant), or to drop out of treatment.
