Effectiveness and acceptability of the unified protocol for the transdiagnostic treatment of emotional disorders in people with long COVID-19: Study protocol for a randomized controlled trial
Overview
This study protocol outlines a randomized controlled trial investigating the effectiveness and acceptability of the online, group-delivered Unified Protocol for adults with long COVID-19. The research compares psychological and cognitive outcomes between participants receiving the intervention and those in a waiting-list control group, while also exploring neurocognitive performance and hair cortisol levels as potential correlates. The resource is intended for researchers and clinicians interested in transdiagnostic approaches to emotional disorders within this specific medical population.
