P2 Trial Design

3Treatment groups
Active Control
Group I: Aim 1Active Control2 Interventions
To examine the impact of demographic matching and supervision intensity on treatment engagement, treatment satisfaction, symptoms, and functioning for students receiving digital therapy. Hypothesis for Main Effect 1: Participants who are matched with Latinx peer coaches will show greater treatment engagement, satisfaction, and improvements in symptom and functioning relative to participants who are not. Hypothesis for Main Effect 2: Participants assigned to peer coaches in standard supervision will show greater treatment engagement, satisfaction, and improvements in symptom and functioning relative to those assigned to coaches in reduced supervision. Hypothesis for Interaction Effect: Students assigned to coaches who are demographically matched and receiving standard supervision will show greater treatment engagement, satisfaction, and improvements in symptom and functioning relative to those in all other conditions.
Group II: Aim 3Active Control1 Intervention
To examine the cost-effectiveness of providing standard supervision. Hypothesis 3: Cost-effectiveness analyses will demonstrate that the increased costs incurred by standard supervision relative to reduced supervision will be justified by participants assigned to peer coaches receiving standard supervision experiencing greater improvements in symptoms than those assigned to peer coaches receiving reduced supervision.
Group III: Aim 2Active Control1 Intervention
To examine explanatory/intervening variables impacting treatment engagement, treatment satisfaction, symptoms and functioning for students receiving digital therapy. Hypothesis 2: Evidence of mediation will be observed for the following five explanatory/intervening variables: 1) quality of the relationship between the participant and peer coach, 2) the participants' perception of cultural similarity with their coach, 3) the participants' treatment expectancy and treatment credibility, 4) the participants' perception of their peer coach's cultural competence, and 5) the peer coaches' fidelity to the treatment model.
