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.
