Worldwide, refugees and asylum seekers suffer at high rates from trauma- and stress-related mental health problems. The investigators thus developed Mindfulness-Based Trauma Recovery for Refugees (MBTR-R) - a 9-week, mindfulness- and compassion-based, trauma-sensitive and socio-culturally adapted, group intervention for refugees and asylum seekers. The overarching aims of the study were to, first, test whether MBTR-R is an efficacious and safe mental health intervention for traumatized refugees and asylum seekers with respect to stress- and trauma-related mental health outcomes; and, second, to test theorized mechanisms of action of MBTR-R. Accordingly, the investigators conducted a randomized waitlist-controlled trial among a community sample of female and male Eritrean asylum seekers in an urban post-displacement setting in the Middle East (Israel).
