Summary

This trial will test a peer support intervention to help Latinx and Black immigrants and refugees cope with mental health, financial, and stress-related problems caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for Latinx immigrants and African refugees aged 18 or older living in New Mexico. It's not open to those who've used certain community services within the last year or have severe mental illness that prevents group participation.
What is being tested?
The study tests a peer advocacy and social support program called Refugee and Immigrant Well-being Project, aiming to improve mental health, financial stability, and reduce stress among Latinx and Black communities affected by COVID-19.
What are the potential side effects?
Since this intervention involves social support rather than medication, there are no direct medical side effects. However, discussing sensitive topics may cause emotional discomfort.
