"Internet-delivered Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy is a trainer-assisted course based on the manual for Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy for depression. The course consists of 8 modules, one per week, for 8 weeks and one additional week for flexibility for the participants. In total 9 weeks with weekly written contact to the personal instructor.~Each module has an overall theme with written theory, approximately 45 minutes of daily mindfulness practice and other daily assignments with the purpose of strengthening awareness in the everyday life."

"Participants in the control arm of the study will receive treatment as usual, which means that they are not offered interventions targeting psycho-social distress but also not prevented from participating in or seeking other psycho-social treatment during the course of the study.~After the 6-months follow-up time has passed participants will get the opportunity to participate in 8 weeks of therapist-assisted internet-delivered Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy, if the intervention is found efficient."
