Clinical Trial Summary

Cluster randomized controlled trial to compare the effects of task-shifted, evidence-based depression care vs. usual care on adherence to each step of the prevention of mother-to-child-transmission (PMTCT) care cascade at 8 antenatal care (ANC) clinics in Uganda.


Clinical Trial Description

This study is a cluster randomized controlled trial (RCT) to compare the effects of task-shifted, evidence-based depression care vs. usual care on adherence to each step of the PMTCT care cascade at 8 ANC clinics in Uganda. At 4 experimental sites, task-shifted, depression care will include (1) depression screening and psychoeducation, (2) depression diagnosis, and (3) provision of evidence-based problem solving therapy (PST), or antidepressant therapy (ADT) for those with severe and refractory depression (or who decline PST), to be implemented by trained peer mothers and midwife nurses, respectively. The 4 control sites will use usual care services for managing depression, which consist of referrals to a mental health specialist and access to the Family Support Group program (comprehensive, monthly multi-session psychosocial program to enhance pregnancy management and PMTCT adherence). At each site, 50 HIV-positive newly pregnant women (total n=400) who screen positive for potential depression will be enrolled and followed until 18-months post-delivery to assess how depression and depression alleviation relate to primary (adherence to each component of the PMTCT care continuum, maternal virologic suppression) and secondary (infant HIV status; post-natal maternal and child health outcomes) outcomes, as well as processes of depression care (treatment uptake and depression alleviation among clinically depressed patients). A cost-effectiveness analysis will be used to compare the two study arms. ;
