Summary

This study tested whether weekly peer support groups called TERTULIAS could reduce depression and social isolation in 241 Mexican immigrant women in Albuquerque. The groups met in Spanish for 12 months. Researchers measured changes in depression, resilience, and social support. The goal was to see if a culturally tailored, community-based program could improve mental health.
