Abstract
Clinical Impact Statement A Syrian version of CA-CBT was effective (large effect sizes for the HTQ), feasible, and potentially scalable (easy application, conducted with trained facilitators, short-term therapy, group format), and acceptable (as evidenced by very low drop out and no adverse events). Thus, the Syrian version of CA-CBT appears to be a valuable psychological intervention for traumatized Syrian refugees, particularly given the lack of effective treatments for this group.
