Abstract

This poster presentation highlights the aim to estimate the baseline level of treatment coverage amongst adults who screen positive for depressive disorder or alcohol use disorder, in 4 of the 5 community implementation areas in the PRIME consortium. The poster concludes that changes in treatment coverage over time will be attributable to the implementation of PRIME mental health care plans.
