Health Without Barriers/Salud Sin Barreras for Adolescent Mental Health and Healthy Lifestyles

This study, called Health Without Barriers/Salud Sin Barreras, is looking at a family-based program to help adolescents (ages 11-19) and their families in rural Southwest Colorado improve mental health and reduce risks for chronic diseases like Type 2 Diabetes. The program includes several parts: Learning 2 BREATHE (L2B), a mindfulness program for teens; parent education on family support, nutrition, and physical activity; physical activity through games; brief mindfulness for parents; and a preschool curriculum about new foods. The study wants to see how well families like and accept these interventions. You can join if you have at least one teen between 11 and 19 years old and live in La Plata, Montezuma, or Archuleta Counties. The study is currently recruiting up to 175 participants and their families.

Eligibility criteria

Exclusion

Participants will not take part in the program and/or research activities if they have a medical and/or psychological/behavioral condition that, in the opinion of the Colorado State University/Extension program team, could interfere with safety for themselves or others or interfere with the capability of the participant or other participants to potentially benefit from the program (e.g., severe emotional-behavioral disturbance, inability to follow facilitator directions) .
Parents/guardians will not take part in the program and/or research activities if they have a medical and/or psychological/behavioral condition that, in the opinion of the Colorado State University/Extension program team, could interfere with safety for themselves or others or interfere with the capability of their family or other participating families to potentially benefit from the program (e.g., using drugs or alcohol or under the use of drugs/alcohol during program sessions, aggressive or inappropriate behavior toward other participants).

What this trial measures

  • Treatment Acceptability: Questionnaire6 weeks

    Participants rate and comment on each component of the program (i.e. Cooking Matters, parent sessions, physical fitness sessions, Learning 2 BREATHE, dinners) separately. Questions include topics about how supported individuals felt during the program, the helpfulness of the facilitators, the perceived benefits of program participation, and their overall experience participating in the program. This questionnaire will only be completed one time at the post-program follow-up.

  • Intervention Acceptability: Qualitative Themes6 weeks

    Themes indicative of acceptability of intervention obtained from qualitative analysis of participant and parent focus-groups at post-intervention.
