Abstract The proposed intervention, Personal relevance of psychotherapy for Asian Americans: A mHealth problem- solving intervention to reduce stress, is designed 1) to increase the use of mental health services by a population that uses them at one third the rate of Whites,1 and 2) to develop a personally-relevant approach to stress-reduction. Practical and cultural barriers inhibit the use of mental health services by Asian Americans2 including a lack of fluency in English amongst specific subpopulations,3 insufficient health literacy,2 and stigma surrounding mental illness which stems from Asian American cultural beliefs shared across subpopulations.4-6 With the rise in discrimination against Asian Americans during the current health crisis related to Covid-19,7,8 their physical and mental health may be adversely impacted,9 reinforcing the need for an improved option that addresses these barriers. This proposal aims to develop a mHealth (mobile health) application that is systematically adapted to be culturally relevant to select Asian American subpopulations. If successful, future development would extend the app to additional groups. Identifying personally-relevant interventions has the potential to reduce persistent mental health disparities among ethnic minority groups10 by increasing engagement with mental health services. Problem-Solving Therapy (PST), the intervention that will be used for this project, is likely to be personally relevant to Asian Americans. PST is a skills-based, psychosocial intervention to assist individuals in managing the negative effects of stressful events which is an effective intervention for reducing psychopathology, such as depression11 and a variety of other psychological difficulties.12 An external problem-solving orientation is culturally-syntonic to Asian values.13 The proposed mHealth app first will be developed for Chinese Americans and Korean Americans. The project will assess and adapt the PST using a systematic approach that integrates two frameworks, the top- down Psychotherapy Adaptation and Modification Framework (PAMF)14 and the bottom-up Formative Method for Adapting Psychotherapy (FMAP).15 In addition, the app layout, text, video, and audio content will be localized. Users will have access to at least five modules in the app, an introduction and one module for each of the four skills that comprise PST. The app will include video modeling of skills by Asian Americans and interactive features that will allow users to apply skills learned like writing down ideas and developing a plan. In Phase I, the project team will: a) design and develop a minimum viable product using an iterative, user- centered approach. In Phase II, the project team will: a) complete content and app development, and b) conduct a randomized controlled trial to evaluate the efficacy of the intervention. When the study concludes, PRoP-AA will be the first evidence-based PST mobile app designed for Asian Americans.

抽象的 拟议的干预措施，亚裔美国人心理治疗的个人相关性：移动健康问题- 解决减轻压力的干预措施，旨在 1) 增加人们对心理健康服务的使用 的人口使用它们的比率是白人的三分之一，1和2）制定一种与个人相关的方法 减轻压力。实际和文化障碍阻碍亚裔美国人使用心理健康服务2 包括特定人群英语不流利、3 健康素养不足、2 以及耻辱 源于亚裔美国人亚裔群体共有的文化信仰的精神疾病。4-6 在当前与 Covid-19,7,8 相关的健康危机期间，对亚裔美国人的歧视有所增加 他们的身心健康可能会受到不利影响，9 更加需要一种改进的选择 解决这些障碍。该提案旨在开发一个 mHealth（移动健康）应用程序 系统地适应特定亚裔美国人亚群的文化相关性。如果成功，未来 开发会将应用程序扩展到更多群体。 确定与个人相关的干预措施有可能减少持续存在的心理健康差异 通过增加对心理健康服务的参与来改善少数民族群体10的健康状况。解决问题 该项目将使用的干预疗法 (PST) 可能与亚洲人个人相关 美国人。 PST 是一种基于技能的社会心理干预，旨在帮助个人管理负面情绪 压力事件的影响是减少精神病理学的有效干预措施，例如 抑郁症 11 和各种其他心理困难。 12 外部解决问题的取向是 与亚洲价值观具有文化共鸣​​。13 拟议的移动医疗应用程序首先将为华裔美国人和韩裔美国人开发。这 项目将使用集成两个框架的系统方法来评估和调整 PST， down 心理治疗适应和修改框架 (PAMF)14 和自下而上的形成方法 适应心理治疗 (FMAP)。15 此外，应用程序布局、文本、视频和音频内容将 本地化。用户将可以访问应用程序中的至少五个模块，每个模块有一个简介和一个模块 构成 PST 的四项技能。该应用程序将包括亚裔美国人和 交互式功能将允许用户应用学到的技能，例如写下想法和制定计划。 在第一阶段，项目团队将： a) 使用迭代、用户设计和开发最小可行产品 以中心为中心的方法。在第二阶段，项目团队将：a) 完成内容和应用程序开发，以及 b) 进行随机对照试验来评估干预措施的有效性。当研究结束时， PRoP-AA 将是第一个为亚裔美国人设计的基于证据的 PST 移动应用程序。
