简要总结
This mixed methods study proposes a culturally adapted cognitive behavioural therapy (CA-CBT) model for a Chinese demographic in Canada. The client population of Chinese youth who have been diagnosed with anxiety and/or depression are the focus of the study. CBT has been proven as a very effective form of therapy, and when adapted can promote positive mental health outcomes for a growing and increasingly vulnerable population. Developing a culturally adapted version of CBT (CA-CBT) for this population adds a practical treatment that improves access to culturally relevant care.
详细描述
There is a major lack of culturally relevant mental health services for Chinese youth in Ontario and Canada. Beginning with a participatory/qualitative research approach, common themes amongst clients, caregivers, healthcare professionals, and community leaders, will divulge basic elements needed to develop a culturally adapted model of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy. The information from the adapted model will be taught to participating psychologists who will deliver the therapy in a pre- and post- evaluation design, with feasibility testing of the intervention using a quantitative approach ensuing. Immediate guidelines will then be developed for use by therapists working with Chinese youth.

结局指标
主要结局
Severity levels of depression and anxiety rated by the Bradford Somatic Inventory (BSI).
时间窗: 4 months.
Severity levels of depression and anxiety will be rated pre- and post-intervention by the Bradford Somatic Inventory (BSI). The Bradford Somatic Inventory uses "yes" or "no" questions relating to somatic symptoms of anxiety and/or depression. A "yes" response to a question equates to a somatic symptom linked to depression and/or anxiety. The maximum number of "yes" responses is 46 and the minimum is 0. A higher number of "yes" responses suggests a potential increase in the severity of depression and/or anxiety.
Severity levels of depression and anxiety rated by the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS).
时间窗: 4 months.
Severity levels of depression and anxiety will be rated pre- and post-intervention by the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS). The scale ranges from 0 to 21 for anxiety and 0 to 21 for depression. A score of 0 to 7 for depression and/or anxiety is considered a normal range. A score of 8 to 10 suggests the potential presence of depression and/or anxiety. A score of 11 or more suggests a likely presence of depression and/or anxiety.
次要结局
