简要总结
The goal of this clinical trial is to pilot and evaluate Enlace Familiar, a culturally responsive intervention designed to support Latino adolescents in discussing their mental health needs with caregivers or other trusted adults. The study will examine the feasibility and acceptability of the intervention and examine its potential impact on mental health communication among Latino adolescents ages 14-18 experiencing mental health concerns. Participants will be randomized into two groups, with 32 adolescents assigned to the Enlace Familiar intervention and 32 adolescents assigned to a control condition. The intervention will be implemented in partnership with community health workers (CHWs), who will serve as culturally relevant facilitators.
The main questions this study aims to answer are:
- Is Enlace Familiar feasible and acceptable for Latino adolescents when delivered by CHWs?
- Does participation in Enlace Familiar improve adolescents' discussions of mental health needs with caregivers or other trusted adults?
Participants will:
- Complete baseline assessments related to mental health communication, attitudes toward mental health, mental health literacy, and engagement in mental health services.
- Participate in the Enlace Familiar intervention, delivered by trained CHWs.
- Complete follow-up assessments to evaluate changes in primary and secondary outcomes.
- Participate in qualitative interviews or feedback activities to provide information about the acceptability and perceived usefulness of the intervention.
Researchers will use a mixed methods design to evaluate intervention feasibility and acceptability and to explore preliminary changes in adolescent mental health communication following participation in the intervention.
