Depression Screening in Black Churches
Community Partnered Participatory Approach to Implement Depression Screening in Black Churches
Study Overview
Status

Intervention / Treatment
Detailed Description
African American adults (AAs), compared to White adults, are half as likely to be screened for depression in primary care settings. Disparities in depression screening contribute to poor clinical outcomes, as AAs with depression are more disabled, sicker longer, and less likely to seek treatment compared to Whites. Black churches are trusted settings that provide "de facto" mental health services for depression. Indeed, in the first study of its kind, the study team found that 20% of adults in Black churches screened positive for depression using the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9). However, no subjects with a positive screen (PHQ-9 ≥10) accepted a treatment referral when offered by research coordinators onsite for each screening.
Community Health Workers (CHWs), who are trusted para-professionals from the target community, may bridge the gap between depression screening and treatment. The investigators have trained and certified 102 CHWs from 42 Black churches in Harlem, New York to deliver an evidence-based intervention called Screening, Brief Intervention, and Referral to Treatment (SBIRT), which is centered on culturally tailored Motivational Interviewing (MI). Thus, the scientific premise of this study is that employing CHWs to implement depression screening in Black churches will bridge the gap between church-based depression-screening and engagement with clinical services.
Using a Hybrid Type 1 Effectiveness-Implementation design, the investigators propose a 2-arm, mixed-methods Cluster-Randomized Controlled Trial within 30 Black churches our CHWs currently attend. Based on our pilot data, the investigators expect 20% of adults (n=600) to have a positive depression screen. Adults will be randomized based on church study site to either SBIRT (n=15 churches) or Referral As Usual (RAU, n=15 churches). The investigators will then compare the effectiveness of SBIRT (Intervention arm) to RAU (Usual Care arm) on treatment engagement (primary outcome), defined as attending a depression-related clinical visit for which the subject reported receiving information, referral, counseling, or medication for depression (Aim 1). The investigators will then compare changes in Mental Health Related Quality of Life and depressive symptoms (secondary outcomes) at 3- and 6-months post-screening (Aim 2). Finally, the investigators will conduct a concurrent, mixed-methods (qualitative-quantitative) process evaluation to assess contextual facilitators and barriers of screening and referral (Aim 3).

Arms and Interventions
Participant Group / Arm |
Intervention / Treatment |
---|---|
Experimental: SBIRT
SBIRT will involve screening with the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9); brief intervention with Motivational Interviewing (MI); and referral to specialty treatment, as needed for subjects with persistent depressive symptoms.
|
Screening Brief Intervention and Referral to Treatment (SBIRT) is an evidence-based approach designed to provide screening, brief intervention, and referral to more intensive treatment for people at risk of developing mental disorders, including depression.
SBIRT is composed of three core components: screening with a validated instrument, brief intervention, referral to treatment.
Motivational Interviewing (MI) is the brief intervention most commonly used in SBIRT.
MI is an empirically tested, person-centered, behavior change intervention designed to guide, elicit, and strengthen motivation for change.
Subjects enrolled in the experimental SBIRT arm will receive up to a maximum of six sessions of MI.
|
Active Comparator: Referral As Usual
Referral as Usual will involve distributing depression educational materials (e.g., from the National Institute of Mental Health) and contact information for treatment providers in our target community
|
We will utilize depression educational brochures describing the nine hallmark symptoms of depression symptoms and the importance of seeking treatment from pamphlets from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH).
Subjects will also receive a list of referral sites in the study's catchment area of Upper Manhattan
