First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests a digital cognitive behavioral therapy program (SilverCloud) for Spanish-speaking adults with depression or anxiety. 426 participants will either use the program on their own or get extra support from a peer coach via phone or messaging. The goal is to see if adding human support improves symptoms and access to care in primary care settings.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- digital cognitive behavioral therapy (SilverCloud platform) with or without peer supporter check-ins
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could show that adding peer support to digital therapy improves depression and anxiety outcomes for Spanish-speaking patients in primary care.
- What could go wrong
- This is a relatively early implementation study, not a large late-phase trial. The intervention relies on internet access and tech literacy, which may limit generalizability. Results may not apply to all populations.
