Mental health delivery through rural primary care-development and evaluation of a training programme.

Abstract

There is a growing consensus of opinion (WHO 1975) that in developing countries, doctors and para-medical staff of the existing health care cadres should, after a short course of problem oriented training, deliver basic mental health care. This paper describes the development and evaluation of such a training programme.
