Clinical Trial Summary

This study is designed to refine and test the efficacy of a computer assisted culturally informed and flexible/adaptive intervention for Latino adolescents for whom self-harm behaviors are a health disparity-specifically, Latinas and sexual/gender minority youth.


Description:

This study enhances an original Computer Assisted Culturally Informed and Flexible Family-Based Treatment for Adolescents (CA CIFFTA) to directly address key targets related to self-harm behavior (e.g., depression, emotion dysregulation, LGBT, culture-related stressors, and trauma-related stressors); (b) refines the technological aspects of CA CIFFTA for web-based delivery; and (c) tests the preliminary efficacy of the new intervention and its delivery system in a randomized trial of 100 Hispanic adolescents and their parents. The investigators seek to reduce risk for repeated self-harm by showing treatment effects on depression, emotion regulation, substance use, and family functioning. Participants are randomly assigned to CA CIFFTA or Treatment-As-Usual and treatment covers a four month period.

Study Design


Intervention

Behavioral:
Computer Assisted CIFFTA
This is a hybrid intervention that includes individual work with the adolescent (e.g., Motivational Interviewing, diary card identification of triggers), computer assisted psychoeducational work, and intensive family therapy interventions.
Behavioral: Traditional face-to-face treatment-no technology
Community agencies provide mostly individual counseling but may add some family involvement in treatment planning.

Outcome

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Primary Change in self harm behavior Mean change in suicidal behavior (minimum total score 0, maximum total score 5; higher total scores indicate more suicidal behavior) Baseline, 4 months post baseline, 12 months post baseline
Secondary Sexual Minority Adolescent Stress Instrument (SMASI) LGBTQ-related stressors are measured using 54 items scored as either 0 (NO) or 1 (YES). Scores can range from 0 - 54 with a higher number representing higher stress. Baseline, 4 months post baseline, 12 months post baseline
Secondary Family Functioning Using the Family Environment Scale (FES) we will measure conflict and cohesion in family functioning. The Cohesion subscale measures how well the family gets along. It is scored from 0 -9 (9 items scored 0 or 1) with a score of 9 reflecting better cohesion and relationships. The Conflict subscale measures conflict in the family. It is score from 0 - 9 with a score of 9 reflecting a high degree of conflict. Baseline, 4 months post baseline, 12 months post baseline
Secondary Emotional Dysregulation Difficulties with Emotion Regulation Scale -Short form (DERS), is designed to assess emotional dysregulation using a 5-point Likert Scale. The total score is calculated from the sum of all items, with higher scores indicating greater problems with emotion regulation (Total possible range: 36-180). Baseline, 4 months post baseline, 12 months post baseline
Secondary Substance Use Alcohol and other drug use will be measured by the Youth Risk Behavior Survey questions on substance use. Baseline, 4 months post baseline, 12 months post baseline
Secondary Risky Sexual Behavior Using the Risky Sexual Behavior Questionnaire and a gated procedure that asks specificity of behaviors only to youth who are active, we will ask about sexual behavior, protection, and risky contexts.There are no subscale scores, only individual items reporting frequency of sexual contact, risky sexual contact, unprotected contact. Higher scores equal more frequency of events. Baseline, 4 months post baseline, 12 months post baseline
Secondary Severity of depression As measured by the PHQ-9. The PHQ-9 incorporates the DSM-IV depression diagnostic criteria with other leading major depressive symptoms into a brief self-report tool. Depression Severity: 0 - none, 1-4 minimal, 5-9 mild, 10-14 moderate, 15-19 moderately severe, 20-27 severe. Baseline, 4 months post baseline, 12 months post baseline
Secondary Self-harm behavior Self administered Deliberate Self-harm Inventory Youth Version (DSHI-Y) that measures the frequency of non-suicidal self-injury. Baseline, 4 months post baseline, 12 months post baseline
