What is being tested?

The study tests the 'Building a Strong Identity and Coping Skills' (BaSICS) program on youth waiting for mental health treatment. It aims to replicate previous positive results and examine changes in coping skills and stress response systems.See study design

What are the potential side effects?

Since BaSICS is a psychological intervention rather than medication, side effects may include emotional discomfort during sessions but typically do not involve physical side effects like those seen with drugs.
