abstract="Evidence-based treatment for Latinx/Hispanic (L/H) with suicidal behaviors (SB) is scarce. This study evaluated the acceptability and preliminary efficacy of a socio-cognitive-behavioral therapy protocol for SB (SCBT-SB) with L/H adolescents and the feasibility of conducting a randomized controlled trial (RCT) of SCBT-SB compared to treatment-as-usual (TAU). A pilot RCT was conducted with 46 L/H teens. The target outcomes included suicidal ideation (SI), suicide attempts (SAs), and depressive/internalizing symptoms. <br><br>RESULTS indicated that the SCBT-SB was acceptable and an RCT with diverse L/H families is feasible to implement. Within group analyses showed reductions over time for each group in SI and depressive/internalizing symptoms. Intent-to-treat between-group analyses showed a medium effect for the SCBT-SB at the twelve-month follow-up for depressive/internalizing symptoms and a large effect for SA. Although results must be interpreted cautiously given the small sample size, outcomes suggest that SCBT-SB may be a promising psychosocial treatment for depressive/internalizing symptoms, and SAs in L/H youth.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
