Summary

Latino teens are less likely to get depression treatment than their peers. This study asks teens, parents, and doctors which of three strategies—peer support groups, parent-teen training, or care navigation—they prefer. Researchers will interview 15 teens, 15 parents, and 5 healthcare providers to find the top choice.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

What this could lead to
If successful, this could identify a preferred way to help Latino teens attend therapy for depression.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study (35 people) that only gathers opinions, not treatment results. The preferred strategy may not work in real-world settings.
