Terre des Hommes (TdH) share three case studies from their project Problem Management Plus (PM+), which was found effective in two randomized controlled trials, (RCTs) funded by our Research for Health in Humanitarian Crises (R2HC) programme and by Grand Challenges Canada.

They then went on to receive funding from our HIF programme to implement PM+ in humanitarian agencies, collaborating with eight humanitarian organisations. There are organisations that are already providing evidence-based care but will now use PM+ as a tool to do so.

The three case studies were conducted in Ethiopia, Syria, and Honduras with three different humanitarian organizations between April 2019 through July 2019. To evaluate the relevance and appropriateness of PM+, in-depth qualitative interviews were conducted with trainers, supervisors, PM+ helpers, and PM+ clients, to identify barriers and facilitating factors to scale up PM+
