Summary

As CBT was developed for persons from North America and European background it needs to be adapted for persons from non-Western cultures. This mixed methods study proposes a culturally adapted Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CA-CBT) model for Canadians of South Asian origin. Beginning with a participatory/qualitative research approach, common themes amongst individuals with depression and/or anxiety, caregivers, healthcare professionals, and community leaders, will divulge basic elements needed to develop a culturally adapted model of cognitive behavioural therapy. The information from the adapted model will be taught to participating therapists who will deliver the therapy in a randomized control trial design, with feasibility testing of the intervention using a quantitative approach. Immediate guidelines will then be developed for use by therapists working with South Asian clients.
