Article Synopsis
- A mental health study in western Kenya tested the feasibility of delivering treatments for major depression and PTSD through non-specialist staff in primary care settings, incorporating both in-person and mobile health (mHealth) options due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
- The chosen intervention involved either psychotherapy (Interpersonal Psychotherapy) or medication (fluoxetine), with 2,162 public sector primary care patients participating.
- A secondary analysis assessed participants' preferences for mHealth or in-person treatment, exploring their reasons for choosing one method over the other and comparing demographic and clinical characteristics between the two groups.
