This randomized controlled trial will compare the effect of a CAMH integration package on yield of CAMH cases compared to non-CAMH integrated sites. It will be conducted among nurses, midwives and clinical officers who provide PHC services to children and adolescents in 42 health centers; and eligible traditional healers.
