Cultural Adaptation of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) for Puerto Rican Youth is a short-term intervention for Puerto Rican adolescents aged 13-17 years who are primarily Spanish speaking and have severe symptoms of depression. The intervention focuses on improving an adolescent’s cognitions, behaviors, and relationships, with the goals of shortening the time that the adolescent feels depressed, reducing his or her depressive feelings, increasing the adolescent’s sense of control over his or her life, and teaching the adolescent how to prevent the onset of depression.
