Cultural adaption of a coping skills program for Spanish youth with functional abdominal pain (Cunningham, PI)

This project aims to culturally adapt, a proven cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) program developed by Dr. Cunningham called ADAPT, for use with Spanish youth with functional abdominal pain disorders.  

Dr. Cunningham is working with Dr. Rocío de la Vega and her team from the University of Málaga on this project. The team is currently conducting a systematic review to inform the cultural adaptation process and will pilot test the adapted intervention in the next phase of this research.  

The project is supported in part by the Faculty Research Scholarship Fund from Michigan State University’s College of Human Medicine Department of Family Medicine.
