Brief Summary:
Critical narrative interventions CNIs have not been examined for addressing psychological outcomes eg depression anxiety self-esteem empowerment psychological well-being within sexual and gender minority emerging adults SGM EA of color therefore this pilot study will examine the use of CNIs to impact SGM of color psychological outcomes Prior literature has shown that CNIs have the potential to increase empowerment self-efficacy and social support as a prevention strategy for mental health The research study is being conducted to see if telling your story through photographs or video can improve the mental health and well-being of emerging adults that identify as a member of a sexual andor gender minority and a racial andor ethnic minority
Participants will be asked to complete the following research procedures
1 take a survey online about 20-30 minutes then an interview about everyday experiences as sexualgender minority of color and your experiences in seeking out mental health services
2 After the interview participants will have one month to tell their story answering two prompts Tell us a time you have felt seen and Tell us a time when you have felt unseen You will be randomized to one of two formats of telling your story taking photographs or making two short videos
1 Photographs Those that are randomized to the photograph condition will be asked to take 12 photos total telling your story and answering the prompt
2 Videos Those that are randomized to the video condition will be asked to create two 1-3 minute videos telling your story and answering the prompts
3 At the one-month time frame participants will be asked to fill out another survey about 20-30 minutes and then complete an interview about the photos or videos created

Detailed Description:
The research activities involve a two-arm pilot enrolling a sample of 30 participants who identify as sexual and gender minority SGM racialethnic minorityperson of color POC and living with moderate to severe depression After consent and completion of the baseline survey 15-20 min and interview 45-60 min participants will be randomized into one of two critical narrative interventions photo-novella n15 or digital storytelling n15
All participants will be given the same two prompts for their narrative intervention asking Share an experience of when you have felt seen as an SGM Person of Color in Philadelphia AND share an experience of when you have felt unseen as an SGM person of color in Philadelphia
Photo-Novella Participants in the photo-novella intervention will be asked to tell their story through 12 photographs and a caption 6 for the first prompt and 6 for the second prompt Participants will be instructed to take a photograph answering the two prompts Participants may use their smartphones or digital camera to capture their photographs Participants may also edit their photographs using photo-editing software for aesthetics Participants will also be asked to provide a short caption no more than two sentences explaining their photograph and provide a title for their work Participants will be provided with a basic guide on photography and how to snap a picture
Digital Story Participants in the digital storytelling intervention will be asked to tell their story in 3-6 minutes two videos total 1-3 minutes each utilizing a video format that can include still or moving images sound music and voiceover Participants will be provided with a guide on software or applications that they can use to create their stories Participants will be provided with a manual or basic guide to digital stories for their reference Participants will be provided with guidance on expectations of the video including format length quality and closed captions for accessibility
At the baseline visit after the survey and interview participants will be randomized into one of the two intervention conditions photo-novella or digital story Once the participant is randomized they will be provided with the electronic manual based on their intervention The research team member will provide guidance on what to expect ie how many photos to take and what the prompt is and go over the manual with the participant The participant will then be given the opportunity to ask questions
The participants will be given one month to complete their narrative and be asked to digitally submit their work to the research team during the 1-month visit Participants will also be given the opportunity to present their work at a gallery but not required to which will be scheduled later about ten months from the date of the first enrollment The gallery and participation in the gallery are entirely voluntary and will not affect participation in the study
A week before the scheduled 1-month follow-up a research team member will reach out to the participant to confirm the 1-month study visit via phone e-mail or text as indicated in the participants preferred contact method A research team member will reach out every two days for confirmation until received from the participant
Participants will receive a link via email a day before their one-month follow-up visit to complete a follow-up survey 15-20 mins During the one-month follow-up a research team member virtually on Zoom will conduct a follow-up interview 45-60 mins asking participants about their experience of creating their critical narrative piece At the one-month follow-up research team members will review the final critical narratives of the participants digitally Two days before the one-month follow-up participants will receive a link via email to a Box folder that is HIPAA compliant where they can upload their photosvideos
The participants will be notified of the gallery date and invited to attend The gallery is optional and does not impact participation in the study
