PROJECT SUMMARY Lack of diversity among the workforce is a significant contributor to disparities in quality of care for racial and ethnic minority populations and represents a major obstacle to meaningfully addressing the social determinants of poor mental health in these population groups. Several key barriers to ensuring a representative mental health workforce and improving access to quality care include: the massive shortage and inequitable distribution of skilled providers; the high cost and lack of scalability of training and supervision; the lack of delivery channels acceptable to recipients; and the lack of attention to social determinants. To address this, the TEACH study will implement a scalable task-sharing model aimed at building capacity and supporting a racially diverse workforce of non-specialist providers to deliver brief interventions for the indicated prevention and early intervention for depression and anxiety, combined with new content tailored to the local context in low resource, racial and ethnically diverse settings with emphasis on assessing and addressing the social determinants of mental health in these communities, ultimately contributing to the reduction of disparities in their communities. The proposed diversity supplement will complement the larger project and will train an early career researcher in implementation science methodology, training and intervention development, and grantsmanship in order for her to gain research independence.
