This mixed methods study proposes a culturally adapted cognitive behavioural therapy (CA-CBT) model for a Chinese demographic in Canada. The client population of Chinese youth who have been diagnosed with anxiety and/or depression are the focus of the study. CBT has been proven as a very effective form of therapy, and when adapted can promote positive mental health outcomes for a growing and increasingly vulnerable population. Developing a culturally adapted version of CBT (CA-CBT) for this population adds a practical treatment that improves access to culturally relevant care.
There is a major lack of culturally relevant mental health services for Chinese youth in Ontario and Canada. Beginning with a participatory/qualitative research approach, common themes amongst clients, caregivers, healthcare professionals, and community leaders, will divulge basic elements needed to develop a culturally adapted model of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy. The information from the adapted model will be taught to participating psychologists who will deliver the therapy in a pre- and post- evaluation design, with feasibility testing of the intervention using a quantitative approach ensuing. Immediate guidelines will then be developed for use by therapists working with Chinese youth.

| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Severity levels of depression and anxiety rated by the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS). | Severity levels of depression and anxiety will be rated pre- and post-intervention by the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS). The scale ranges from 0 to 21 for anxiety and 0 to 21 for depression. A score of 0 to 7 for depression and/or anxiety is considered a normal range. A score of 8 to 10 suggests the potential presence of depression and/or anxiety. A score of 11 or more suggests a likely presence of depression and/or anxiety. | 4 months. |
| Severity levels of depression and anxiety rated by the Bradford Somatic Inventory (BSI). | Severity levels of depression and anxiety will be rated pre- and post-intervention by the Bradford Somatic Inventory (BSI). The Bradford Somatic Inventory uses "yes" or "no" questions relating to somatic symptoms of anxiety and/or depression. A "yes" response to a question equates to a somatic symptom linked to depression and/or anxiety. The maximum number of "yes" responses is 46 and the minimum is 0. A higher number of "yes" responses suggests a potential increase in the severity of depression and/or anxiety. | 4 months. |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Satisfaction of the culturally adapted Cognitive Behavioral Therapy assessed using the Verona Satisfaction Scale. | Satisfaction will be measured using the Verona Satisfaction Scale. This scale measures patients satisfaction with health care services. The items are rated by 4 categories labelled: "strongly disagree", "disagree", "agree", and "strongly agree", on a scale of 1 to 4. A higher sub-scale/domain score indicates better satisfaction. All sub-scales are summed up to compute total/domain score. This scale will be used to identify the strengths and weaknesses of the therapy service and provide guidance for further development. |
