Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
The stepped-wedge cluster randomized study design involves all participant groups beginning the trial receiving enhanced usual care with random sequential crossover of groups to the experimental condition until all groups have been exposed to the full intervention. Throughout the study, participant data will be collected at baseline, mid-treatment, and post-treatment. Following study completion, the intervention will be evaluated by comparing changes in psychiatric symptoms of participants from baseline to post-treatment.
