Study Protocol: It is time to dig deeper: A cross-country implementation mapping study of the iFightDepression® (online self-management) tool
Overview
This study protocol outlines a cross-country implementation mapping project in Germany, Poland, and Spain to examine the adoption of the iFightDepression® online self-management tool for mild depression. The research targets trained user guides, such as family physicians, to identify barriers and facilitators to patient uptake through qualitative surveys and focus groups. Findings are intended to inform the development of implementation manuals and country-specific blueprints to support consistent intervention adoption.
