About This Depressive Symptoms Study in Harrisburg

The aim of this study is to evaluate a novel cultural strengths parenting program - the Video-feedback Intervention to Promote Racial-Ethnic Socialization CompEtency (VIP-RACE) - which seeks to support Latine parents' motivation to engage in racial-ethnic socialization (RES) and strengthen their RES competency (improved skills and confidence, decreased stress). In the preliminary phases of this project, we iteratively refined the VIP-RACE program in partnership with advisory boards of youth, parents, and providers. The refined intervention will now be tested with five parents of 10-14-year-old Latine youth to identify gaps in the curriculum and obstacles to implementation that can be addressed prior to a larger pilot. The investigators will then conduct a proof-of-concept single-arm trial with Latine families to assess the feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary efficacy of VIP-RACE. The investigators hypothesize that VIP-RACE will be shown to be feasible and acceptable to families. The investigators also predict that bolstering parents' RES motivation and competency will result in increased frequency and quality of these conversations between parents and youth which, in turn, are expected to strengthen youth racial-ethnic identity and coping and have cascading effects on mental and behavioral health.
