ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial, called PRIDE SSA, is focused on improving mental health services in Mozambique. It aims to train local health workers to provide better care for people with common and severe mental health issues. The goal is to create a sustainable program that can be used in Mozambique and potentially in other countries with similar needs. By using existing health workers, like psychiatric technicians and nurses, the trial seeks to make mental health care more accessible and affordable for everyone. The study will evaluate different strategies and costs involved in scaling up these services to ensure they are effective and long-lasting.

Eligibility for participation in the trial is primarily for staff working in specific clinics, including clinic directors, trainers, and health workers involved in mental health care. If you're a clinic staff member in one of the participating facilities, you might be able to take part. Participants can expect to engage in training sessions that will enhance their skills in providing mental health care. Overall, this trial is an important step towards improving mental health support in Mozambique and could help shape policies that benefit communities in the long run.
