Brief summary

The efficacy of internet-based interventions for various mental health problems has already been demonstrated. Many of these interventions still use a lot of human resources for delivery and assessment. Vilnius University Trauma research group has created an internet-based modular self-help intervention based on the principles of CBT and mindfulness for people with adjustment difficulties. The purpose of this trial is to evaluate BADI efficacy on adjustment disorder symptoms and psychological well-being compared to a waiting-list control group.

Each module consists of 3 exercises which participants of the program are instructed to use based on their preference and as frequently as they feel the need. Exercises take from 3 to 7 minutes to complete. The participant may complete as many or as few modules as they choose. This enables a participant to personalize the intervention to his needs. The participants are instructed that they will have access to BADI for one month. Adherence will be measured by logging the completed exercises.
