Clinical Trial Summary

The goal of this pilot randomized controlled trials is to assess the effectiveness of the stepped care approach in treating common mental disorders among foreign domestic helpers in Hong Kong and improve their access to evidence-based psychological treatments. Participants will be required to complete an online consent form. Then, around 240 eligible participants aged 18-65 years with depression (Patient Health Questionnaire-9 [PHQ-9] ≥ 10) and/or anxiety (Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7 [GAD-7] ≥ 8) will be randomly assigned to the intervention and control group in a ratio of 1:1. Participants assigned in the intervention group will recieved the stepped-care mental health intervention while those assigned to the control group will receive care-as-usual. Assessments of depression, anxiety, and insomnia symptoms, as well as work and social adjustment, quality of life, and treatment credibility and acceptability will be conducted at baseline, week 7 (after Step 1), week 14 (after Step 2), week 21 (after Step 3), and week 33 (12-week follow-up). An assessment of barriers to accessing care will also be collected before treatment.
