This longitudinal dataset tracks psychological outcomes for 22 Afghan youth survivors of the Kaaj Education Center attack following Memory-Focused Therapy (MFT). Collected by Sayed Jafar Ahmadi and published in 2026, the data includes standardized mental health assessments at baseline, post-intervention, and a three-month follow-up.
Use Cases
