Clinical Trial Summary

This study is part of a Wellcome Trust-funded research program in India called PRIDE (PRemIum for aDolEscents, 2016-2022) led by Principal Investigator Prof. Vikram Patel (Harvard Medical School). The goal of PRIDE is to establish a suite of scalable psychosocial interventions for common adolescent mental health problems in India. Following on from earlier studies to develop and evaluate the various PRIDE interventions in school settings, the current study aims to generate evidence on methods to support implementation. We will undertake a pre-and-post study design with a nested randomized controlled trial with the specific aims to: 1. Evaluate the effects of digital training on non-specialists' competency to deliver an evidence-based problem-solving intervention for common adolescent mental health problems 2. Evaluate the incremental effect of digital training with coaching (DT-C) in comparison with self-guided digital training (DT) on non-specialists' competency to deliver an evidence-based problem-solving intervention for common adolescent mental health problems 3. Evaluate the processes affecting the implementation of training interventions in both arms


Clinical Trial Description

PRIDE has been implemented in India to address the scarcity of evidence- based interventions for common adolescent mental health problems nationally and in low-resource settings more widely (Michelson et al., 2020). The goal is to develop and evaluate a suite of scalable, transdiagnostic psychological interventions (i.e., suitable for a variety of mental health presentations) that can be delivered by non-specialist ('lay') counsellors in resource-poor school settings. There is a major knowledge gap concerning how to build capacity outside of specialist health settings and how to motivate and support non-specialists through structured capacity building activities in absence of adequate specialist trainers. Hence, the aim of the current study is to evaluate the effectiveness of a digital training for non-specialists to improve their competency in delivering an evidence-based adolescent mental health intervention. SIGNIFICANCE: The health care system in India faces a number of key challenges: (1) poor quality and inadequately resourced primary health care; (2) low numbers and unequally distributed skilled human resources; (3) a large, unregulated, private sector; (4) low public spending on health leading to high levels of out of pocket expenditure; (5) fragmented health information systems; (6) irrational use and spiralling costs of drugs and technology; and (7) weak governance and accountability. The current study will address the dearth of evidence on workforce development strategies necessary to scale-up evidence-based adolescent mental health interventions in low-resource settings. ;
