NCT ID NCT05833555
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests a community-wide program in Harlem that trains health workers and coordinates services to help Black and Latino adults with depression or anxiety. About 700 participants from low-income housing or primary care clinics will be involved. The goal is to see if this approach improves screening, referrals, and mental health outcomes.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could create a sustainable model for community-based mental health care that improves access and reduces disparities in underserved areas.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early-stage implementation study, not a drug trial. Results may vary across communities, and the approach may not be scalable or effective everywhere.
