Project Description

The project will build on our successful work completed in Phase 1 to enhance mental health research capacity in Cambodia. In Phase 2, the program will work with government and academic leaders to enrich the professional opportunities and generate innovative mental health research programs relevant to the needs of Cambodian citizens. Mixed methods analyses will examine the feasibility and acceptability of trauma informed care, and a randomized clinical trial will examine the effectiveness of a novel task-sharing, evidence-based cognitive behavioral treatment for anxiety, depression, and substance use. Outcomes from the integrated program will lay the groundwork to scale and sustain mental health research and clinical care driven by in-country leaders and US partners dedicated to changing the current trajectory of mental health equity in Cambodia.
