Common Elements Treatment Approach

For treatment group participants, they will then have weekly meetings with a counselor lasting no more than 1.5 hours per session, and a total of approximately 10 sessions. Both treatment and wait list participants will then complete the assessment instrument at 3 months and 6 months post-enrollment (each lasting no more than 1.5 hours). All total, it is expected that treatment group participants will have up to 13 meetings with a study team member or counselor over the course of their participation. Wait list group participants will have 3 meetings with a study team member over the course of their participation. If the treatment is deemed to be effective these wait list participants will be the first adults to be offered the intervention after trial completion.
