The T-BIP is a one-on-one, three-hour cognitive-behavioral intervention tailored to specific student concerns.

A review of the literature revealed one peer-reviewed preliminary analysis. Results show that the number of office referrals decreased significantly for students who received the intervention. A large amount of non-peer-reviewed research, including dissertations and poster presentations, exists on the intervention, revealing mixed effects.
