Comparing implementation strategies for training and supervising nonspecialists in Group Problem Management Plus
Migrants and refugees face elevated risks for mental health problems but have limited access to services. This study compared two strategies for training and supervising nonspecialists to deliver a scalable psychological intervention, Group Problem Management Plus (gPM+), in northern Colombia. Adult women who reported elevated psychological distress and functional impairment were randomized to receive gPM+ delivered by nonspecialists who received…
Comparing Mediators and Moderators of Mental Health Outcomes from the Implementation of Group Problem Management Plus (PM+) among Venezuelan Refugees and Migrants and Colombian Returnees in Northern C…
Colombia hosts the largest number of refugees and migrants fleeing the humanitarian emergency in Venezuela, many of whom experience high levels of displacement-related trauma and adversity. Yet, Colombian mental health services do not meet the needs of this population. Scalable, task-sharing interventions, such as Group Problem Management Plus (Group PM+), have the potential to bridge this gap by utilizing lay workers to provide the intervention.…
Validating the Coronavirus Anxiety Scale in a Colombian sample
The present instrumental study evaluated the psychometric properties of the Coronavirus Anxiety Scale with 421 Colombian adults in full lockdown of coronavirus. The reliability was excellent, obtained through the Cronbach's Alpha coefficient ( α = 0.83). The results of the confirmatory factor analysis identified satisfactory indicators for the scale's one-dimensional model. The correlations obtained in the discriminant analysis of the items have …
A Simple Monte Carlo Framework to Assess Suicide Risk in Adolescents
It is very common to perform statistical tests to obtain insights about populations based on samples. For instance, in the context of psychology, when a set of instruments are applied to individuals, psychologists typically look for an explanation of particular psychological constructs (variables), such as personality, intelligence, or emotional functioning. It is common to cross statistical information from the results of different psychological…

Validity and Reliability of the Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support in Colombian Adolescents
The present study aimed to evaluate the psychometric properties of the multidimensional scale of perceived social support (MSPSS) in Colombian adolescents. We conduct a cross-sectional study and recruit 766 adolescents from 14 to 18 years old. The internal consistency of the scale was d and model fit from confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). The internal consistency of the scale was .84 (95% CI = 0.83-0.86), with small to negligible changes when s…
