Summary

Conduct systematic, multi-site mental health implementation research in both rural and urban primary care settings with a broad group of stakeholders in the US and Latin America.

Detailed description

The investigators plan to launch and evaluate a new mental health service delivery model in Latin America. Specifically, in this new multi-component, mental health service delivery intervention, the investigators propose to: (1) harness mobile behavioral health technology for mental health (with a primary focus on depression and a secondary focus on problematic alcohol and other substance abuse), (2) launch new workforce training and service delivery models (including the integration of technology into service delivery), (3) launch and evolve an integrated data management system for systematic data tracking and outcomes assessment, and (4) launch and grow a learning collaborative of organizations integrating mental health into primary care. The investigators will launch this project at multiple primary care sites in various parts of Colombia, with a plan to inform subsequent adoption in several other Latin American countries, including Chile and Peru.

Conditions

• Depression
• Problematic Alcohol Use

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
BEHAVIORAL	Laddr	Laddr is a mobile behavioral health technology that offers science-based self-regulation monitoring and health behavior change tools via an integrated platform to a wide array of populations. Specifically, the core functionality of Laddr (e.g., problem-solving therapy) will be structured to focus on an end user's management of depression and its impact on their functioning and quality of life. The program will secondarily focus on problematic alcohol use and its relationship to depression management.
