Psychoeducational intervention (PEI)
PEI consists of 10 culturally competent group empowerment psychoeducational sessions. The sessions are directed by a treatment manual and are co-led by two therapists. The sessions are guided by the theory of triadic influence (TTI) model, which incorporates cultural-environmental influences, social-situational influences, and intrapersonal influences into treatment.
Enhanced treatment as usual (ETAU)
ETAU contains an adherence protocol plus access to weekly support group and a resource room.
