First seen Jan 04, 2026 · Last updated May 16, 2026 · Updated 17 times

Summary

This study tested whether combining a low-intensity mental health program (Self Help Plus) with cash payments of $300 could reduce stress and depression in 40 Afghan refugee women in Türkiye. Participants were split into two groups: one received both the program and cash at the same time, while the other got cash first and the program three months later. The goal was to see if this combined approach is practical and helpful for improving mental health in a low-resource setting.
