Official title
Identification of Implementation Strategies to Promote Depression Treatment Use Among Latino Adolescents
Overview
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).
Primary outcome measures
- Preferred implementation strategy to improve depression treatment use generated from qualitative interviews/focus groups [Time frame: Baseline]
Secondary outcome measures (1)
- Number of barriers to depression treatment use generated from qualitative interviews/focus groups [Time frame: Baseline]
