Kenya trial finds path to mental health care where specialists are scarce
NCT ID NCT03466346
Summary
This study tested two different treatments for depression and trauma-related disorders that could be delivered by trained non-specialists in Kenya, where mental health professionals are scarce. Over 2,100 primary care patients received either talk therapy or medication as a first treatment, with options to switch or combine treatments if the first didn't work well. The goal was to create practical, personalized treatment plans that could be integrated into regular healthcare services to help more people get care.
