Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
Women, in particular, are at risk for depression and poverty. Integrating programs that treat depression and address livelihood concerns may improve engagement in depression treatment and improve mental health and functioning for patients in low-resource settings. The proposed study would integrate depression care with existing "microfinance" programs, which provide poverty-alleviation services including small loans, savings programs, and vocational training to women.
This project will (1) conduct qualitative studies of barriers and facilitators of women's successful use of existing depression care and microfinance programs; (2) adapt and integrate the depression care and microfinance services; (3) train Women's Union facilitators to deliver the integrated depression care and microfinance program; and conduct evaluation of LIFE-DM program to assess acceptability, feasibility, and preliminary effectiveness. The non-randomized control trial compares the integrated microfinance and collaborative care intervention with enhanced treatment as usual (national guideline antidepressant care and referral to microfinance resources) at the Women's Union in Danang city in Vietnam.
