Project Overview
The Southern African Research Consortium for Mental health INTegration (S-MhINT) is a research and capacity-building consortium that aims to use implementation science to strengthen regional mental health integration into primary health, antenatal, and chronic care platforms in under-resourced. The S-MhINT is made up of three core components including the Administrative Core, Scale-Up Study and Capacity Building. The Administrative Core aims to establish and engage a trans-disciplinary research consortium of academics, government representatives and non-governmental organizations in South Africa, Mozambique and Tanzania to address the burden of common mental disorders in primary health care settings. The Administrative Core will manage all operations including developing monitoring systems for all S-MhINT activities and milestones, and a process evaluation of the partnership.
