Project Overview
School Health Implementation Network: Eastern Mediterranean Region (SHINE) is a collaborative network involving four countries in the World Health Organization’s Eastern Mediterranean Region (WHO-EMRO). Its principal focus is scaling up school-based mental health services. An implementation study is taking place in Pakistan, and capacity-building activities are occurring in Pakistan, Egypt, Jordan, and Iran.
Implementation Research Study
The implementation study is designed to assess the effectiveness of both an intervention and an implementation strategy. The study is embedded in Pakistan’s scale up of the WHO-EMRO evidence-based, manualized School Mental Health Intervention. The study compares two implementation methods – conventional versus technology-assisted delivery of teacher training, guidance of child intervention, and monitoring of outcomes. It also models the costs of implementing the technology-assisted model and develops a rapid replication tool
