Summary

This trial will use a mix of qualitative and quantitative methods to study the effects of "TERTULIAS" ("conversational gatherings" in Spanish), a peer support group intervention, on health outcomes and health disparities for FMI participants in Albuquerque, New Mexico. The study will document changes in depression, resilience, social support, stress, social connectedness, and knowledge/empowerment.

Who is the study for?
This study is for Spanish-speaking female immigrants from Mexico, over the age of 18, living under 250% of the Federal Poverty Level in Albuquerque, New Mexico. It's not open to prisoners, children, or those unable to give consent.
What is being tested?
The trial is testing 'TERTULIAS,' a peer support group designed to reduce depression and social isolation by fostering resilience and social support. Participants will be compared with others in a control group receiving modified attention.
What are the potential side effects?
Since TERTULIAS involves conversational gatherings without medical interventions, no direct physical side effects are expected. However, discussing personal experiences may bring emotional discomfort.
