This study is recruiting. It focuses on depression and currently lists participation information in Malawi.
This study is looking at whether Enhanced Friendship Bench can help people with Hiv, Depression, or Depression, Postpartum. Participants take part in Enhanced Friendship Bench and complete follow-up assessments. Some participants may receive Enhanced usual care instead of the study treatment, and direct benefit is not guaranteed.
The official record suggests in-person participation through a hospital, with sites including Area 18 Health Center in Lilongwe, Area 25 Health Center in Lilongwe, and Bwaila Hospital in Lilongwe. Participation appears to involve a study treatment together with follow-up visits and routine safety or progress checks. The main fit is usually meeting the main study requirements, while common reasons not to take part include safety concerns that need urgent care first and other factors that could make participation unsuitable. The official record does not list a formal phase, which usually means this is focused more on feasibility, delivery, or support than a standard drug-development stage.
