Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This mixed methods study proposes a culturally adapted cognitive behavioural therapy (CA-CBT) model for an East Asian demographic in Canada. The client population of East Asian youth who have been diagnosed with anxiety and/or depression are the focus of the study. CBT has been proven as a very effective form of therapy, and when adapted can promote positive mental health outcomes for a growing and increasingly vulnerable population. Developing a culturally adapted version of CBT (CA-CBT) for this population adds a practical treatment that improves access to culturally relevant care.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

There is a major lack of culturally relevant mental health services for East Asian youth in Ontario and Canada. Beginning with a participatory/qualitative research approach, common themes amongst clients, caregivers, healthcare professionals, and community leaders, will divulge basic elements needed to develop a culturally adapted model of cognitive behavioural therapy. The information from the adapted model will be taught to participating psychologists who will deliver the therapy in a randomized control trial design, with feasibility testing of the intervention using a quantitative approach ensuing. Immediate guidelines will then be developed for use by therapists working with East Asian youth.
