TESTING MULTI-LEVEL SCALE-UP STRATEGIES TO IMPLEMENT A SCHOOL-BASED POPULATION APPROACH OF MENTAL HEALTH PREVENTIVE INTERVENTION: UGANDA
REFNo: HS5647ES

General Objective
The overall goal of this study is to address vertical and horizontal scale-up implementation framework gaps in Uganda. This study will test new recommended vertical scale-up and sustainability implementation strategies and study impact and underlying mechanisms when the new scale-up model is applied.
This research will guide the development of evidence-informed theoretical frameworks and processes to effectively institutionalize EBIs in LMICs such as Uganda. To achieve this goal, we will carry out 4 sequential steps (4 aims).
Specific Objectives
1.
To establish a cross-level partnership and strengthen stakeholders/leaders’ advocacy capacity to make evidence-based informed children’s mental health policy and practice decisions and to facilitate the EBI institutionalization through the educations system illustrated in figure 1.
2.
To develop implementation Protocols in collaboration with cross level partners (established in Aim 1) based on a new multilevel train-the-trainer scale-up framework to support the EBI/PD scale-up.
10
3.
Implement the new Protocols for scale-up and test the relative value of additional implementation supports intended to sustain teacher EBI practices through a Hybrid III cRCT.
4.
To explore underlying scale-up and sustainability implementation mechanisms.
