Examining the Feasibility and Acceptability of a Screening and Outreach Model Developed for a Peer Workforce
2015
Overview
Mothers of children with mental health problems are at high risk for depression. This study examined the feasibility and acceptability of a screening and outreach intervention delivered by peers in non-clinical settings. Quantitative and qualitative data were collected from 24 participants pertaining to the feasibility of administration, identification of mothers evidencing depressive symptoms, and perceptions of the intervention from the perspectives caregivers, peers, and their supervisors. The study’s results offer preliminary support that peers can administer outreach and educational interventions with appropriate training and supervision; that mothers with depression can be detected in non-clinical settings, and that participants viewed the intervention as concordant with the services provided by peers and relevant to caregivers’ emotional health. Practice, policy, and research implications are discussed.
