Community health workers (CHWs) have successfully used Motivational Interviewing (MI) to improve treatment adherence (i.e. taking medications and attending clinic appointments) for patients with depression in the US and globally. Mobile health (mHealth) tools can address challenges in implementing MI by providing real-time support in the community and facilitating ongoing coaching and supervision for CHWs, as these two challenges currently impede CHWs' ability to use MI. The investigators will develop then test a new mHealth app, which can potentially be used in the US and abroad, to help CHWs receive decision-support for MI and capture consented audio recordings of patient interactions for review and feedback by facility-based nurses with MI expertise.
