Fuerte Trial Summary

This trial will test the efficacy of a school-based group prevention program called Fuerte, which is designed to help newcomer Latinx immigrant youth who are at risk of experiencing traumatic stress. The program will be implemented by mental health providers from various county community-based organizations, as well as from the SFUSD Wellness Centers.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for newcomer Latinx immigrant youth in San Francisco Unified School District, aged 12-18, who arrived in the U.S. within the last five years and speak Spanish or Arabic fluently. It's aimed at those who haven't completed the Fuerte program before and are at risk of traumatic stress.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests 'Fuerte,' a school-based group prevention program designed to improve mental health literacy, social functioning, and connect at-risk youth with specialized mental health services. The effectiveness of adapting Fuerte for non-Latin American immigrants will also be assessed.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since 'Fuerte' is a psychological support program rather than a medical treatment, it may not have typical side effects; however, discussing emotional topics could potentially cause temporary distress or discomfort.
