Culturally Centered CBT Protocol for Suicidal Behaviors Among Youth in Mexico City

This NIMH R34 award application proposes to conduct an adaptation, implementation, and pilot testing of the culturally centered CBT protocol, the Socio-Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Suicidal Behaviors (SCBTSB), among suicidal youth in Mexico City, Mexico. The research plan will (a) culturally adapt and contextualize the SCBT-SB for its implementation in the Mexican public health system, (b) pilot test the protocol through an RCT (SCBT-SB vs TAU; 60 patients and caregivers) and (c) evaluate the implementation process of the SCBT-SB and assess qualitatively possible factors that may promote or hinder its future uptake.
