Effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of group support psychotherapy delivered by trained lay health workers for depression treatment among people with HIV in Uganda: A cluster-randomised trial

The Lancet Global Health Feb 29, 2020

Nakimuli-Mpungu E, Musisi S, Wamala K, et al. - This study sought to develop the effectiveness of group support psychotherapy (GSP) delivered by lay health workers for depression treatment among people living with HIV in a rural area of Uganda on a large scale. This cluster-randomised trial enrolled 30 health centres offering HIV care. These were randomized to deliver either GSP or group HIV education (GHE). Researchers examined a total of 1,473 individuals, of whom 1,140 were selected from health centres offering GSP (n=578 [51%]) or GHE (n=562 [49%]) between Sept 13 and Dec 15, 2016. The results of this indicated that the integration of cost-effective psychological treatments such as group support psychotherapy into existing HIV interventions might enhance the mental health of people living with HIV.
