Summary

This research is being done to find out the effectiveness, feasibility, and acceptability of a college student-delivered cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) intervention in high schools in rural Schuylkill County, Pennsylvania to treat mental health problems (i.e. depression and anxiety) in adolescents. This project will respond to the need for evidence-based, acceptable, accessible, and low-cost adolescent cognitive-behavioral interventions that lead to long-term improvements in adolescents' mental health outcomes.

BEHAVIORAL

Student Delivered Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Intervention

Our study aims to evaluate whether a 12-week cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) program delivered in both group and individual formats by trained college students can effectively help adolescents with symptoms of depression, anxiety, and stress. We will assess the program's feasibility, acceptability, and effectiveness in a high school setting. Sessions will cover topics such as: understanding connections between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, identifying and challenging unhelpful thought patterns, using exposure principles to face feared situations, building problem-solving skills, and engaging in positive activities.
