NCT ID NCT07705776
First seen Jul 15, 2026 · Last updated Jul 16, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This trial tests a culturally tailored, peer-led program called SanaMente for rural Latino adults with chronic medical conditions and mild-to-moderate depression or anxiety. Over 6 to 8 weeks, trained bilingual peer mentors lead small group sessions focused on mental health, stress, sleep, physical activity, and nutrition. The study aims to see if the program is practical, well-liked, and helps improve mood, lifestyle, and overall well-being.
