Culture and Well-Being for Latinos
Description
The proposed K23 study is an intervention study using an experimental therapeutics approach. This pilot RCT asks: “Does SOCIAL-ENGAGE increase cultural-social engagement and decrease suicide risk among Spanish-speaking adults?” We will first optimize a behavioral intervention – SOCIAL ENGAGE (S-ENGAGE) – for target engagement using human-centered design approaches with Spanish-speaking adults at risk for suicide (n=5) and then conduct a pilot RCT (n=60) to test target engagement (cultural-social engagement) and clinical impact (suicide risk) of S-ENGAGE with this population. The ultimate goal is for S-ENGAGE to be offered as a suicide prevention program for Hispanics at risk for suicide.
