Culturally Adapting CBT for Chinese Youth in Ontario

Canada36 participantsStarted 2019-01-04

Plain-language summary

This mixed methods study proposes a culturally adapted cognitive behavioural therapy (CA-CBT) model for a Chinese demographic in Canada. The client population of Chinese youth who have been diagnosed with anxiety and/or depression are the focus of the study. CBT has been proven as a very effective form of therapy, and when adapted can promote positive mental health outcomes for a growing and increasingly vulnerable population. Developing a culturally adapted version of CBT (CA-CBT) for this population adds a practical treatment that improves access to culturally relevant care.
