Overview
Brief Summary
Despite experiencing higher rates of depressive symptoms (Center for Disease Control and Prevention, 2020) and similar rates of Major Depressive Disorder (MDD; Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), 2019), Latino adolescents in the U.S. are significantly less likely than their non-Latino White peers to receive treatment for MDD (SAMHSA, 2019). The purpose of this study is to identify a stakeholder-preferred implementation strategy that may improve psychotherapy attendance among Latino adolescents. Latino adolescent-parent dyads and healthcare providers will be recruited from healthcare settings and social media. Focus groups will be conducted with healthcare providers (n=5), and individual interviews will be conducted with Latino adolescents with a diagnosis of depression (n=15) and their parents (n=15).

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Preferred implementation strategy to improve depression treatment use generated from qualitative interviews/focus groups
Time Frame: Baseline
Implementation strategy preference options will include: 1) Near Peer Depression Support Groups; 2) Parent-Teen Depression Treatment Activation Training; and 3) Depression Care Navigation Services. We will determine which strategy is most preferred by asking stakeholders, "Which of these strategies would work best for you/your family/Latino teens?" We will add up the responses to determine the preferred strategy with the highest frequency.
