Mi Bridge will be evaluated through an international multicenter study using randomized wait-list controlled design

The research subjects will sign a written consent form on the Iterapi platform without disclosing personal data such as name or location During the subsequent screening interview via chat or voice call on Iterapi participation criteria are ensured questions are answered and the consent to participate is confirmed The research subjects are thus admitted to the study

After inclusion participants answer the baseline survey which consists of validated self-assessment questionnaires with both multiple choice and free-text answers

Weekly during after the waitlist and after the therapeutic intervention research subjects answer questions to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of the interventions
