Summary

This pilot study tests a new way to deliver trauma-focused therapy to teens with PTSD. It combines therapist-led video sessions with a mobile app for self-paced exercises. Researchers want to see if this blended approach is feasible and acceptable compared to standard therapy. About 40 teens in northern Sweden will take part.

What this could lead to: If successful, this could point toward a more accessible, app-supported therapy option for teens with PTSD.
