Abstract

There are few available culturally and linguistically adapted behavioral health interventions for substance use among Spanish-speaking adults. The authors describe the cultural adaptation of an innovative computer-based training for cognitive behavioral therapy program (CBT4CBT). Based in cognitive-behavioral skills training, CBT4CBT utilizes a telenovela to teach monolingual Spanish-speaking adults who have migrated to the United States to recognize triggers; avoid these situations; and cope more effectively with the consequences of substance use. Participants endorsed high levels of satisfaction with the program content and found the material to be easy to understand and relevant to their life experiences.
