Description
This study aims to identify implementation strategies associated with successful implementation of task-shared mental health deliver in the education and/or health sectors. Findings should inform scale up.
We test the implementation of Trauma-focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), delivered via task-sharing, in two governmental sectors prioritized by our Kenyan partners as potential options for scale up— Education and Health Extension. We test TF-CBT delivery in Education (via teacher delivery) and Health Extension (via community health volunteers) with the goal of identifying implementation practices and policies (IPPs) that explain implementation outcomes. We use a novel method, qualitative comparative analyses (QCA), that holds potential for advancing our understanding of multiple implementation pathways to success.
