Access to effective psychological interventions for adolescents is essential to promote healthy development into adulthood. EASE is a brief, transdiagnostic intervention that aims to mitigate symptoms of emotional distress in young adolescents. If proven effective, it can potentially be scaled-up in many settings. The effectiveness of EASE is currently being tested through randomized controlled trials in Lebanon, Jordan, Pakistan and Tanzania.
