Brief summary

Despite experiencing higher rates of depressive symptoms and similar rates of Major Depressive Disorder (MDD), Latina (female) adolescents in the U.S. are significantly less likely than their non-Latina White peers to receive treatment for MDD. The purpose of this study is to identify facilitators of and barriers to depression treatment engagement among Latina adolescents across patient-, family-, and healthcare provider-levels from the perspectives of these individuals. Latina adolescent-parent dyads and healthcare providers will be recruited from community and healthcare settings. Separate individual semi-structured interviews will be conducted with Latina adolescents (n=12) and their parents (n=12). Two focus groups will be conducted with primary care providers (n=6) and mental health providers (n=6) who frequently care for Latina youth. Qualitative content analysis will be used to analyze the transcripts to determine common themes in facilitators and barriers across stakeholder groups.
