Study Details

Brief summary:

The current investigation consists of the implementation and modest refinements of a culturally adapted version of the evidence-based PT intervention known as GenerationPMTO.© The adapted intervention, CAPAS-Youth, is primarily delivered to parents. The primary research objectives are twofold: a) to conduct refinements of the CAPAS-Youth intervention for Hispanic immigrants in mid-Texas, and b) to measure implementation barriers and precursors, as well as implementation outcomes, in an effort to inform a future study focused on scaling the intervention. A special focus on faith-based organization informs the intervention, as a way of increasing reach with underserved Hispanic immigrant communities.
