SER Familia for Latino Immigrant Families

This study is testing an intervention called SER Familia, which is a six-session program designed to help Latino immigrant families. It aims to reduce stress related to adjusting to a new culture (acculturative stress) and build resilience. The program also works to improve family health and connections, and help families find community resources. We are looking for 400 Hispanic/Latino parents or parental figures who are first-generation immigrants and have a child aged 12-17. The study will measure changes in acculturative stress and resilience in both parents and youth over six weeks to see if the program is successful. The current status of this study is unclear.

What this trial measures

  • Change in Parent Acculturative stress as measured by the Hispanic Stress Inventory (HSI-2) Immigrant VersionFrom Enrollment to end of treatment at 6 weeks

    The immigrant version of the HSI-2 includes 10 stress subscales. For each item, participants indicated whether they had experienced the stressor (Yes / No). If participants reported experiencing a stressor, then they rated how stressful the event was on a 5-point Likert scale (1= Not at all worried / tense; 2 = A little worried / tense; 3 = Moderately worried / tense; 4 = Very worried/ tense; 5 = Extremely worried/ tense). The total score ranges from 94 to 470, where a higher score indicates greater stress.

  • Change in Youth Acculturative stress as measured by the Hispanic Stress Inventory - Adolescent (HSI-A)From Enrollment to end of treatment at 6 weeks

    The HSI-A includes 8 stress subscales. For each item, participants indicated whether they had experienced the stressor (Yes / No). If participants reported experiencing a stressor, then they rated how stressful the event was on a 5-point Likert scale (1= Not at all worried / tense; 2 = A little worried / tense; 3 = Moderately worried / tense; 4 = Very worried/ tense; 5 = Extremely worried/ tense). The total score ranges from 72 to 360, where a higher score indicates greater stress.

  • Change in individual resilience as measured by the 25-item Resiliency ScaleFrom Enrollment to end of treatment at 6 weeks

    The Resiliency Scale uses a 7-point Likert scale to assess how much a respondent agrees or disagrees with statements. The possible total score ranges from 25 to 175, with higher scores indicating greater resilience. Scores above 145 indicate high resilience, 121 to 145 indicate moderate resilience, and below 120 indicate low resilience.

  • Change in PROMIS (Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System) Global HealthFrom Enrollment to end of treatment at 6 weeks

    The PROMIS Global Health score ranges from 10 to 50, where a higher score indicates better overall health.
