NCT ID NCT06756165
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested a community-based mental health screening and referral program for women aged 18-49 affected by floods in rural Pakistan. Trained health workers screened nearly 4,800 women for anxiety and depression, referred those with symptoms for counselling, and tracked how well the program worked. The goal is to see if this approach is practical and acceptable for wider use in disaster-prone areas.
