This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This trial is testing TRUST, a six-session psychological therapy designed specifically for teenagers aged 16-18 who experience paranoia—intense fears that others intend to harm them. The therapy combines techniques that help young people identify what matters to them and work with difficult thoughts and mental images that fuel paranoid feelings. This is one of the first therapies designed just for young people with paranoia, rather than adapted from adult treatments.
Paranoia is surprisingly common in teenagers—up to one in three young people seeking mental health care experience paranoid thoughts—but there are currently no proven therapies designed specifically for young people. This study aims to fill that gap by testing whether this new treatment works and whether teens find it acceptable and helpful.

After an initial screening and some baseline questionnaires, you would meet with a therapist for six individual sessions where you would learn and practice the new therapy techniques. Before starting, there's a short waiting period (2–4 weeks) where you'll track your symptoms at home. Throughout the study, you'll complete questionnaires about your paranoid thoughts, how you feel about yourself and others, and how the therapy is affecting your daily life. The whole process takes several weeks.
