Summary

This trial tests whether a month-long gratitude program built around the Islamic concept of shukr can improve psychological well-being in young Muslim adults. Participants aged 18 to 29 from Pakistan will be randomly assigned to either the program or a control group. The program includes daily journaling, short videos, and five online group sessions. Well-being and gratitude are measured before, right after, and three months later to see if any benefits last.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
A four-week behavioral program based on the Islamic concept of shukr (gratitude), including daily journal prompts, pre-recorded videos, and five live online group sessions.
What this could lead to
If effective, this program could offer a culturally tailored, low-cost way to improve well-being and gratitude among young Muslim adults.
What could go wrong
This is an early-stage trial with a modest sample size, and the benefits may not extend beyond the specific population or setting. As a behavioral intervention, it carries minimal risk but may not produce lasting changes.
