The study evaluated Strong Minds, an adapted cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) intervention delivered by community health workers (CHWs) in Spanish to uninsured Latinx immigrants with mild-moderate depression. Preliminary findings suggest feasibility and potential benefits in reducing depressive symptoms. However, CHWs require specific training and support for mental health care delivery. Further research on depression interventions using CHWs for underserved Latinx populations is needed.
