Abriendo Caminos: Engaging Latinos with Serious Mental Illness
This study, called "Abriendo Caminos: Engaging Latinos," is testing a program called culturally responsive motivational interviewing. This program involves six weekly, hour-long sessions designed to help Latino adults with serious mental illness (SMI) who are not currently receiving treatment. The main goal is to see if this program can help more people get involved in mental health treatment. Researchers also want to understand how easy it is to recruit 30 Latino adults for this 6-week program and how much they like it. To join, you must be 18 or older, live in Connecticut, identify as Latino, speak English or Spanish, have a history of trauma, and not have received mental health treatment in the past 30 days. The study is currently unclear about its recruitment status.
