NCT ID NCT06188962
First seen Jul 21, 2026 · Last updated Jul 22, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This trial tests a school-based counselling program called Knowledge Insight Tools (KIT), which is based on cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT). It is designed for secondary school students aged 11-18 who are struggling with anxiety and low mood. Participants first go through a waiting period of 3-8 weeks, then receive 10 one-to-one therapy sessions. The goal is to see if KIT reduces their anxiety and mood difficulties compared to receiving no support.
