Peer Mentor Training and Supervision for a Digital Adolescent Depression Treatment in South Africa and Uganda: Mixed Methods Evaluation
Overview
This mixed-methods study evaluates a structured training and supervision program for peer mentors supporting the Kuamsha app, a digital behavioral activation intervention for adolescent depression in South Africa and Uganda. The resource details the feasibility, acceptability, and fidelity of this model among 17 peer mentors across both sites, including quantitative metrics on recruitment and competency alongside qualitative insights from interviews. It is primarily intended for researchers and clinicians interested in implementing blended digital mental health interventions in low- and middle-income countries.
