Brief Summary:
This study will adapt LGBTQ-affirmative cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) - previously only used with adults - for youth aged 12-17 years. This intervention addresses the pathways through which minority stress compromises lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) young peoples' mental health. The purpose of this study is to determine if the intervention is acceptable and feasible for LGBTQ youth.
Detailed Description:
Lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) youth experience more mental health problems than their heterosexual and cisgender peers. The purpose of the proposed mixed-methods study is to assess the feasibility, acceptability, and need for refinement of LGBTQ-affirmative cognitive behavior therapy for youth aged 12-17 years in New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut. This study will be the first to adapt the randomized controlled trial tested LGBTQ-affirmative CBT intervention for youth, and the first to deliver it in a virtual group format. Qualitatively, investigators will conduct structured post-treatment interviews to assess the feasibility, acceptability, and refinement of the intervention in this population. Quantitatively, investigators will assess the feasibility and acceptability of the intervention through analysis of indices like number of sessions attended, number of homework assignments completed, weekly treatment satisfaction ratings, and a post-treatment feedback survey. Investigators will also examine changes from pre- to post-treatment in youth's mental health symptoms, minority stress reactions, and emotional regulation and coping difficulties. These pilot data will be used to estimate the sample sizes needed for a future, larger trial of this treatment, as well as areas in which the treatment could be refined.
