IMPLEMENTATION OF EVIDENCE-BASED FACILITY AND COMMUNITY INTERVENTIONS TO REDUCE TREATMENT GAP FOR DEPRESSION

IMPRESS aims to reduce this treatment gap by addressing both supply and demand-side barriers by combing two strategies previously developed by Sangath. The supply-side will be targeted by scaling up the Healthy Activity Program (HAP), a manualised psychological treatment based on behavioural activation, which was shown to reduce symptom severity and increase remission among participants with depression in Sangath’s PREMIUM study. A part of the PREMIUM study was the VISHRAM program, which was a community-based mental health intervention with a gal to increase mental health demand through the enhancement of mental health literacy. IMPRESS builds on the work done previously by Sangath in the PREMIUM study and the VISHRAM program.
