Summary

Researchers at Oregon State University are testing whether a brief, Spanish-language group program can reduce anxiety in Latino/a adults. The program teaches neuroscience-informed cognitive behavioral therapy over three weekly 90-minute sessions and asks participants to track their anxiety and body awareness at home. The trial compares this group with a waitlist to see whether the program eases anxiety and improves body awareness and self-compassion more than time alone.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Brief group neuroeducation using neuroscience-informed cognitive behavioral therapy
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a short, culturally adapted group program that helps Spanish-speaking Latino/a adults manage anxiety with only three sessions.
What could go wrong
The trial is small and compares the program to a waitlist, so improvements may reflect time or attention rather than the therapy itself. Results may not apply to other groups or to people with severe anxiety.
