Interventions

  • Common Elements Treatment Approach (CETA) — BEHAVIORAL
    CETA is a transdiagnostic evidence-based treatment (EBT) designed to be implemented in low-resource settings and delivered by lay providers with little to no prior mental health training (i.e., CHWs). CETA consists of 11 modules that address the most common mental health disorders, including depression, anxiety, and post-traumatic stress. Modules are based on common elements of EBT, and include topics of psychoeducation, behavioral activation, relaxation, cognitive restructuring, exposures, safety planning, and substance use reduction. Designed with non-specialists in mind, CETA materials follow a simple, concrete format, with a 1-5 page "manual" section and 1-2 page "steps sheet" for each module that includes goals, example wording, and guidance for in-session use during implementation. CETA has demonstrated effectiveness in RCTs around the world, but has yet to be examined in the US in the context of CHW implementation.

Study Details

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if it is doable for community health workers (CHWs) to deliver a mental health intervention to Spanish-speaking Latine parents experiencing anxiety, depression, and/or traumatic stress. The main questions it aims to answer are (1) Is it doable for CHWs to deliver the mental health intervention and for Latine parents to participate in the intervention, and (2) does the CHW-delivered intervention work in reducing Latine parents' mental health symptoms. Researchers will compare Latine parents receiving the intervention to Latine parents not receiving the intervention to see if the CHW-delivered intervention works to improve mental health symptoms. Participants will: * Participate in up to 14 weekly 1-hour sessions of the mental health intervention delivered by a CHW. They will be randomized to receive the intervention immediately or after a 5-month delay. * Participants will complete questionnaires about their symptoms, family and child functioning, as well as about how doable, acceptable, and appropriate they found the intervention * Participants will also complete a recorded interview about their experience in the intervention

Arms

  • Experimental: Immediate CETA
    Participants will participate in up to 14 weekly 1-hour CETA sessions with a community health worker provider
  • No Intervention: Delayed CETA
    Participants will receive no treatment during a 5-month period while completing symptom measures mirroring those in the active treatment condition. After the delay, participants will be able to receive the treatment.
