In plain words

What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

This single-blinded, multicentered, randomized controlled trial aims to evaluate the effectiveness of Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT) compared to Treatment-as-Usual (TAU) in reducing post-traumatic stress symptoms among unaccompanied refugee minors (UAMs) residing in accommodation centers and Supported Independent Living (SIL) programs in Greece. Participants aged 15-18 will be randomly assigned to either a TF-CBT intervention group or a TAU control group. The intervention will be delivered by trained psychologists under supervision and culturally adapted to the Greek refugee context. Assessments will occur at baseline, post-intervention, and three months later, using standardized psychometric tools. Secondary outcomes include changes in comorbid psychiatric symptoms (depression, anxiety, somatic symptoms), emotional and behavioral difficulties, and quality of life.
