Feasibility and Acceptability Trial of a Culturally Adapted Manual Versus Standard CBT Manual: A Randomized Control Trial

The intervention consists of seven modules including cognitive restructuring, problem solving, behavioural activation and conflict management. Three additional modules focus on interpersonal relationships, mental health wellbeing and self-care. Each module is delivered over one week. The intervention uses culturally appropriate stories, drawings, examples from local folklore and religious context to describe the concepts of CBT.

The standard CBT manual will follow conventional CBT techniques without specific cultural adaptations
