Family-centered Mental Health Promotion Intervention
Reducing Stress, Anxiety, and Depressive Symptoms Via a Family-centered Preventative Intervention for Immigrants: A Randomized Controlled Feasibility Trial
Goal: The long-term goal of the proposed research program is to test the effectiveness of a preventative behavioral intervention and to scale it up for use with broader immigrant populations to reduce stress and mental health disorders.
Intervention: This study plan to adapt the World Health Organization developed Problem Management Plus (PMP), an evidence based, multi-component, behavioral intervention including breathing, problem solving, behavioral activation, and social support for immigrants.
Hypothesis: Immigrants in the Problem Management Plus for Immigrants (PMP-I) will have significantly lower levels of stress and anxious/depressive symptoms as compared to immigrants in the talk program with Community Support Service pamphlets (CSS).
Objective: The current study aims to pilot test the feasibility and acceptability of PMP-I among Bhutanese immigrants 18 years and older living in the Massachusetts.

Experimental: Problem Management Plus for Immigrants at family settings
PMP-I intervention aims to develop skills in coping adaptively in a new culture, seeking help and support for mental health problems, and other life skills opportunities that can help to improve their quality of life.
PMP-I intervention includes stress management through breathing exercises and yoga, problem solving, behavioral activation, and skills to strengthen social support.
|
PMP-I is a 5-week, peer-led, culturally tailored psychoeducation, behavioral activation (90 minutes), breathing and yoga intervention (90 minutes) in a family setting. PMP-I will use a structured approach, including once a week face-to-face sessions, breathing and yoga practices.

Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Change in the Perceived Stress Scores
Time Frame: Baseline, immediate post-intervention and 12-week post intervention
|
The 10-item Cohen Perceived Stress Scale (PSS) will be used to assess perceived stress at baseline, post-intervention, and 12-week post-intervention.
The PSS uses a 5-point Likert scale (ranging from 0, "never" to 4, "very often") to assess psychological stress experienced during the past four weeks, including the extent to which situations felt unpredictable, uncomfortable, and overwhelming.

Baseline, immediate post-intervention and 12-week post intervention
|
Change in the Anxiety and Depressive Symptoms Scores
Time Frame: Baseline, immediate post-intervention and 12-week post intervention
|
The Hopkins Symptom Checklist-25 (HSCL-25) will be used to measure anxiety and depressive symptoms experienced over the past four weeks at baseline, post-intervention, and 12-week post-intervention.
It is composed of a 10-item subscale for anxiety and a 15-item subscale for depression, with each item scored on a Likert scale from 1 (not at all) to 4 (extremely).
