Multi-sector determinants of implementation and sustainment for non-specialist treatment of depression and post-traumatic stress disorder in Kenya: a concept mapping study
Concept mapping offers a rapid, community-engaged approach for identifying determinants and implementation strategies to address workforce shortages. Organizing results by EPIS phases can help prioritize strategy deployment to achieve implementation goals. Scale-up and sustainment of the non-specialist workforce in Kenya requires formal partnerships between the Ministry of Health and community health worker teams to distribute financial resources and collaboratively standardize training curriculum.
