Enlace Familiar: Supporting Mental Health in Latino Adolescents

This study is testing a program called Enlace Familiar. This program helps Latino adolescents (teens) learn to talk about their mental health with trusted adults like caregivers. We want to see if Enlace Familiar helps teens communicate better about their mental health. You might be able to join if you are a Latino adolescent between 14 and 18 years old, speak Spanish, and have some mental health concerns (scoring 3-12 on the PHQ-4 screening tool) but are not currently receiving mental health treatment. The study will look at how often teens talk about their mental health for up to 6 months. The current recruitment status is unclear.

Study design
This is an interventional study planning to enroll 64 participants. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of two groups: either the Enlace Familiar program or a control group.
What's involved
If you join, you will have two individual sessions for the Enlace Familiar program, either in person or online. You will also receive a list of mental health resources.
Compensation
Not stated in the trial record.
Follow-up
