Churches become frontline for mental health: new approach tests better depression screening
NCT ID NCT04524767
Summary
This study tested whether using trained community health workers in Black churches could improve depression screening and help more people get treatment. Researchers compared a special program that included screening, brief counseling, and referrals against usual referral methods. They followed 505 participants from 30 churches to see which approach led to more people actually attending mental health appointments and whether symptoms improved over 6 months.
