简要总结
The objective of this randomised controlled trial (RCT) is to determine the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of a task sharing counseling intervention for maternal depression in South Africa(i.e. provided by non-specialist health workers)
详细描述
Specific Objectives:
- To determine the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of task sharing care to community health workers (CHWs), compared to enhanced usual care in South Africa, on both primary outcome measures (severity of prenatal maternal depression symptoms) and on a series of secondary outcome measures (functional status, health care utilization, social support and postnatal infant growth).
- To examine factors influencing the implementation of the task sharing intervention and future scale up, by assessing feasibility, sustainability, quality, and safety, and by qualitative exploration of the experience of task sharing from the perspectives of both CHWs and patients.
