Overview
Brief Summary
The goal of this Hybrid Type 2 Implementation-Effectiveness Cluster Randomised Controlled Trial is to reduce the treatment gap for depression through the integrated implementation of interventions in facility and community platforms, in Goa, India. The primary question is to examine whether a community intervention ("Community Model") enhances the demand for, and improves the outcomes of, an evidence-based, brief psychological treatment for depression delivered by non-specialist health workers in primary health care facilities ("Facility Model"). Participants in the Facility Model arm will receive only a psychosocial intervention for depression (the Healthy Activity Program - HAP) while participants in the Community Model will receive both the HAP and the community intervention. We will compare the Facility Model and the Community Model to assess if the latter is superior in increasing the demand for depression treatment in primary care, increasing uptake of treatment by people with depression, increasing treatment completion rates, and reducing the severity of depression.
