About this trial
This pilot study tests the feasibility and preliminary impact of a protocolized promotora-led navigation intervention to improve behavioral health access among Latinx and Native American underserved adults. The study is embedded within a community cultural center, leveraging a trusted and culturally grounded environment for recruitment and intervention delivery. Participants will be randomized 1:1 to receive either the promotora navigation intervention or a treatment-as-usual (TAU) condition consisting of cultural resources and promotora-supported wait-list control. The TAU group will continue to receive any usual care during the study period and will be offered the protocolized navigation intervention after completing follow-up assessments. Primary outcomes include feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary changes in behavioral health access, stress reduction, self-efficacy, and wellbeing.
