Intervention(s)

BADI (Brief adjustment disorder intervention) is an internet-based modular self-help intervention for adjustment difficulties. BADI is designed as a self-help intervention delivered entirely via internet with no therapist support. It is based on the principles of CBT and mindfulness and consists of 4 modules: Relaxation exercises (Body module), Time management exercises (Time module), Mindfulness based exercises (Space module) and Exercises for strengthening relationships (Relationships module). Each module consists of 3 exercises which participants of the program are instructed to use based on their preference and as frequently as they feel the need. Exercises take from 3 to 7 minutes to complete. The participant may complete as many or as few modules as they choose. This enables a participant to personalize the intervention to his needs. The participants are instructed that they will have access to BADI for one month. Adherence will be measured by logging the completed exercises.
