About the study
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).
