Randomized Controlled Trial
Telephone-based cognitive-behavioral therapy for Latino patients living in rural areas: a randomized pilot study.
This pilot study tested the effectiveness of culturally tailored, telephone-based cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) for improving depression outcomes among Latino primary care patients living in rural settings. ⋯ Although limited by small sample size, pilot results suggest culturally tailored, telephone-based CBT has the potential to enhance access to psychotherapy in an underserved Latino population with little access to mental health services.
