NCT ID NCT07617467
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study compares group-based Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to standard individual therapy for young people aged 16-25 with depression, anxiety, or stress. About 212 participants will be randomly assigned to either group ACT or individual therapy. The goal is to see if group therapy works as well as one-on-one sessions, which could offer a more accessible treatment option.

What this could lead to
If it works, this could show that group therapy is a good option for young people with depression and anxiety, potentially making treatment more accessible.
What could go wrong
This is a relatively small, early-stage study comparing two established therapies, so it may not find a clear difference. Results may not apply to all young people or settings.
