About the trial
What the trial wants to find out
The aim of the current study is to explore whether culturally adapted internet-based cognitive behavioral therapy is effective in reducing the symptoms of various common mental health problems among Arabic-speaking refugee and migrant youth. We hypothesize that the symptoms of the psychological problems will significantly be reduced among youth who will receive iCBT compared to youth in the control group.
