Summary
This study tested whether community health workers (CHWs) could effectively screen for depression in 30 Black churches and help people get treatment. 505 adults with possible depression were split into two groups: one received a structured program (SBIRT) and the other got usual referrals. The goal was to see if the program increased attendance at depression-related doctor visits and improved symptoms over 3 to 6 months.
