Status Recruiting

Clinical Trial Summary

The novel multi-professional service delivery model "Primary Care Behavioural Health" (PCBH) has been suggested as an effective way to integrate behavioural health services into routine primary care to overcome the growing problems with psychosocial and mental health problems in primary care. In this multicenter mixed-methods pragmatic clinical trial, the implementation of PCBH in routine primary health care in a region in Sweden is investigated.

Clinical Trial Description

Psychosocial and mental health problems is a growing public health concern and challenge for primary care where resources are scarce. The multi-professional novel service delivery model "Primary Care Behavioural Health" (PCBH) has been suggested as an effective way to integrate behavioural health services into routine primary care. The model offer high accessibility to brief interventions, is clinically intuitively attractive and has been disseminated in primary care organizations globally, as well as in Sweden. However, more research is needed on its effect and implementation in routine care. The objective is to investigate the effect of the new service delivery model PCBH on organization- staff- and patient outcomes, and to investigate the implementation of PCBH in terms of how and to which degree the new way of working is normalised in practice routines. This multicenter mixed-methods interventional study is designed as a controlled pragmatic clinical trial. The effect of PCBH will be investigated on organizational, staff and patient levels. Variables include waiting lists, symptoms, medication prescriptions, quality of life and working environment aspects. Study participants will be patients, staff and managers at the included primary care centers. Implementation of PCBH will be investigated regarding the implementation process and degree of implementation. Data will be both qualitative (individual interviews) and quantitative (registers, biomarkers and questionnaires). At least 24 intervention centers will be compared to an equal number of control centers. The research project will be conducted in several regions in Sweden during a period of 4 years. PCBH seems to offer a solution the challenges in modern primary care, but evidence is low. This study will provide much-needed clinically meaningful data regarding PCBH that hopefully could be used for future development of primary healthcare. ;
