Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This study is testing an integrated depression care program delivered through general practitioners' offices. Instead of requiring immediate referral to a psychiatrist, a case manager supports patients with mild to moderate depression right at their primary care clinic. Researchers want to find out which patients benefit most from this approach. **You may be eligible if...** - You are between 18 and 65 years old - You are visiting a general practitioner's office - You have symptoms of depression **You may NOT be eligible if...** - Your depression is severe enough that you need immediate referral to a specialist mental health service Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.

This summary was AI-generated to explain the trial in plain language. It is not medical advice. Always discuss eligibility with your doctor before enrolling in a clinical trial.

Interventions

OTHERIntegrated care

The intervention will be modelled based on the most frequently reported patient, family physician and specialist barriers in depression management. In this project, multiple interventions aiming to tackle these barriers will be set up, with the WHO Framework on Integrated People-Centred Health Services (IPCHS) serving as conceptual backbone to the study (Table 1). The IPCHS distinguishes five interdependent strategies supporting a shift in healthcare delivery, management and funding towards universal health coverage. These strategies are: 1. empowering and engaging people and communities; 2. strengthening governance and accountability; 3. reorienting the model of care; 4. coordinating services within and across sectors; 5. creating an enabling environment.
