      <study_design>Randomization: Randomized, Blinding: Single blinded, Placebo: Not used, Assignment: Parallel, Purpose: Treatment, Randomization description: The block method will be used. The groups are defined as codes A and B. Before assigning individuals to one of the groups, a list of these letters (blocks A, B) is formed. Each of the referring and eligible individuals is assigned to one of the groups.
To avoid the risk of predicting the allocation of individuals to different groups, blocks of different sizes (2, 4, 6, and 8) will be created and, accordingly, they will be placed in two intervention and control groups, Blinding description: In order to reduce bias, the intervention will be implemented by trained therapists, and the outcome assessment will be conducted by an independent evaluator unaware of the subjects' grouping.</study_design>
