The Sub-Saharan Africa Regional Partnership (SHARP) for Mental Health Capacity-Building Scale-Up Trial: Study Design and Protocol

What is it about?

This paper will describe in detail a protocol for a scale-up study that compares the implementation effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of two different implementation packages in achieving integration of depression management into non-communicable disease clinics in Malawi: a basic implementation package (Internal Coordinator only, or IC) vs. an Internal Coordinator plus External Quality Assurance (IC + EQAC). Should these findings show benefit in such a resource-limited setting as Malawi, we believe these findings will be generalizable to other countries in sub-Saharan Africa.
