Description
This implementation research project aims to adapt an evidence-based Systems Analysis and Improvement Approach (SAIA) for use in global mental health systems improvement (SAIA-MH). This award will result in pilot SAIA-MH data and tools that can be more rigorously tested in a future pragmatic health systems trial with the ultimate goal of improving the delivery of high-quality evidence-based mental healthcare in low-resource settings globally.
Our specific aims are to: (1) adapt cascade analysis indicators and data tools to SAIA-MH, and assess their usability and feasibility among end-users; and (2) pilot-test the effectiveness, practicality, and process fidelity of the full SAIA-MH cascade analysis, process mapping, and associated task-shared mental health quality improvement approaches. The Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research will guide implementation outcome measurement to understand inner setting, intervention, and process constructs affecting SAIA-MH implementation.
