The effect of an intervention for organizing primary mental health care in Brazil: a study based on routine process indicators
The present pilot study points to possible effects of SMAPS for organizing MH care in PHC, especially regarding the referrals to specialty mental health care and the delivery of psychotropic medications. It contributes to the formulation of proposals for evaluating MH care based on data already available from records and reports from health services and emphasizes the need to improve the quality of MH care recording in PHC work routines.
