What this trial studies

The EASE program is an evidence-based intervention designed to enhance emotional skills among adolescents aged 10-15 years. This pilot study aims to evaluate the local implementation of the EASE program by assessing the acceptability and feasibility of training community staff members as EASE Helpers. It will also investigate potential challenges related to recruitment, intervention delivery, and participant retention, using a mixed-methods design that incorporates both qualitative and quantitative approaches. The study seeks to bridge the treatment gap for ethnically minoritized adolescents facing mental health disparities.
