About this trial

The purpose of the study is to investigate the feasibility of implementation aspects, treatment effects and change processes regarding a brief trauma-focused Internet-based CBT treatment, for patients who have been treated in trauma care at Karolinska University Hospital and who exhibit symptoms of psychological consequences of the traumatic event. Another aim is to explore factors (predictors, moderators and mediators) that influence the effect of the treatment, in order to better understand who responds to the treatment.
