ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Latina intimate partner violence (IPV) survivors often face great barriers to depression care. We sought to use a community-based participatory research (CBPR) approach to create and evaluate a community-based depression care program for Latina IPV survivors.METHODS:
We created a multifaceted, culturally tailored intervention, based on principles of chronic illness management. A promotora provided case management services and led 12 weekly group sessions. Participants completed surveys at baseline and 6 months and participated in open-ended exit interviews.RESULTS:
Ten Spanish-speaking Latina women participated in the intervention. The program had excellent attendance, with 100% of women attending at least 10 group sessions, and high satisfaction. We found a large decrease in depression severity (Patient Health Questionnaire [PHQ]-9, 17.3-7.2; p = .001), as well as improvements in depression self-efficacy, self-esteem, and stress.CONCLUSION:
This study offers promising preliminary data to support the use of community-based approaches to reducing depression disparities in Latina IPV survivors.
