Introduction: Canadian youth mental health (YMH) systems have the potential to urgently tackle the mental health treatment gap currently impacting young people, and stepped care (SC) is one model that can address this need. The adoption of SC models can guide the development of better-connected YMH systems by simplifying transitions and care pathways. To do so requires robust standards that are co-created across stakeholder groups, including with lived experience experts, to ensure the effective implementation of SC models.

Background: Depression is among the leading causes of the global burden of disease and is associated with substantial morbidity in old age. The importance of providing timely intervention, particularly those with subclinical symptoms, has thus increasingly been emphasised. Despite their overall effectiveness, a small but notable subgroup tends to be less responsive to interventions.

Background: In low-income and middle-income countries, individuals with major depressive disorder often do not receive screening and treatment. We assessed effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of an integrated care model for treating major depressive disorder in Malawi, accounting for two sets of positive externalities: household benefits and improvements in comorbidities.

Methods: In this stepped-wedge, cluster-randomised, controlled trial, 14 health facilities in Neno District, Malawi, introduced screening, diagnosis, and treatment for people with major depressive disorder, using a stepped-care model of group Problem Management Plus and antidepressant therapy.

The stepped care model (SCM) is a patient-centred approach to mental health care, offering a range of services from least to most intensive, tailored to individual needs. This scoping review examines the adoption, effectiveness, challenges and implications associated with applying SCM within primary mental health service delivery. Evidence from global sources suggests the model is viable, effective and useful.

Objective: This study examined whether high frequency heart-rate variability (HF-HRV) and HF-HRV reactivity to worry moderate response to cognitive behavioural therapy for insomnia (CBT-I) within both a standard and stepped-care framework among cancer patients with comorbid insomnia. Biomarkers such as HF-HRV may predict response to CBT-I, a finding which could potentially inform patient allocation to different treatment intensities within a stepped-care framework.

Methods: 177 participants (86.
