In this study, people who suffer from adjustment problems after having experienced an accident will be randomized to one of two study groups. The first group receives access to the internet-based self-help intervention immediately. The second group is a waiting control group that receives access to the program 12 weeks later. In both conditions additional care or treatment is allowed. The aim of the study is to investigate the efficacy and cost-effectiveness of an internet-based self-help intervention for people with adjustment problems after an accident compared to a waiting list. There are 6 assessments, which all take place online: baseline, two between-measurements (after 4 and 8 weeks), post assessment (after 12 weeks) and two follow-up assessments (after 3 and 6 months). All participants from both groups are asked to fill out all assessments.
