Official title: Improving Child Mental Health Service Utilization in Ibadan Nigeria Using a Community Based Participatory Research Approach

Status Not yet recruiting

Clinical Trial Summary

The investigators will develop and evaluate a community-based participatory intervention that will be principally guided by the model we test and confirm in Aim 1. To meet this second aim, ten guardian consultants will co-develop and co-implement a group intervention whose goal is to increase 100 guardians' recognition and knowledge of CAMH problems, perceived need for CAMH services, and willingness to use accessible services at UCH. The investigators will also evaluate the process of developing, planning, and administering a CBP intervention in Nigeria and draw broader implications for CBP programming in other LMICs.

Clinical Trial Description

One hundred participants will be randomly recruited from the cohort of guardians who completed the interview in Phase 1 and expressed interest in participating in an intervention. The investigators will use a switching replication design in which fifty guardians will be randomly assigned using a lottery to receive the intervention and fifty will be assigned to a group who will receive the intervention at a later time point.127 The latter group will serve as a control in the first part of the intervention plan, and the roles will be switched in the second part. The investigators will initially propose 4 intervention sessions, each comprised of 2 meetings, lasting 1.5 hours each for 25 guardians. Two sessions will be conducted concurrently for Group 1 (n=50) followed by 2 sessions concurrently conducted for Group 2 (n=50). The program outcomes - guardian recognition and knowledge of CAMH problems, the perceived need for CAMH services, and willingness to use accessible CAMH services - will be measured with the same instruments administered in Aim 1 ;
