Study of Adapted IPT-A for Youth Suicide Prevention
This study is looking at a program called Adapted Brief Interpersonal Psychotherapy for Adolescents (IPT-A LAZOS) to help prevent suicide in young people. It's designed for Hispanic or Latine adolescents aged 12 to 17 who are enrolled in youth community centers and are experiencing some depressive symptoms. Participants will either receive 6 weekly sessions of IPT-A LAZOS, delivered by trained mentors, or continue with their usual community center activities. The main goals are to see if the IPT-A LAZOS program is practical to deliver and if young people find it acceptable. This study aims to enroll 46 participants.
- Study design
- This is an interventional study that will compare two groups of participants. It plans to enroll 46 adolescents.
- What's involved
- If you are in the intervention group, you would attend 6 weekly sessions of the IPT-A LAZOS program. Otherwise, you would continue with your usual community center services.
- Compensation
- Not stated in the trial record.
- Follow-up
- The feasibility and acceptability of the intervention will be measured for up to 7 weeks.

What this trial measures
- Feasibility of the interventionUp to 7 weeks.
The Feasibility of Intervention Measure (FIM) is a 4-item self-report survey (Weiner et al., 2017) used to assess whether the intervention can be successfully carried out (feasible). The scores for the 4 items are averaged, yielding a total score of 1-5, where 1-2 indicates low perceived feasibility, 3 indicates moderate, and 4-5 indicates high perceived feasibility. In summary, higher scores indicate higher perceived feasibility (a better outcome).
- Acceptability of the interventionUp to 7 weeks
The Acceptability and Appropriateness of Intervention Measure (AIM) is an 8-item self-report survey that assesses whether the intervention is satisfactory (acceptability) and relevant (appropriateness). The measure is divided into 4-item subscales: acceptability and appropriateness. These constructs are evaluated separately, with an average score ranging from 1 (low) to 5 (high) (Weiner et al., 2017). Higher scores indicate higher satisfaction (acceptability) and relevance (appropriateness), meaning a better outcome.
