Improving Mental Health Through Integration With Primary Care in Rural Karnataka

"Patients in the intervention groups will receive integrated collaborative clinic care by their physicians, a nurse case manager and consulting psychiatrists. They will also participate in 12-month community-based Healthy Living groups, in which cognitive and behavioral strategies are used to target health promoting behaviors, such as increased activity, improved diet, adherence to medical regimens, as well as problem-solving skills, coping skills, and social support."
