Researchers from Memorial University of Newfoundland conducted a study on the implementation of a stepped care model for addiction and mental health services in New Brunswick, Canada. The study aimed to identify the acceptability and feasibility of the model, as well as the perceived benefits, barriers, and facilitators to its implementation. The research found that the stepped care model was deemed acceptable and feasible, with perceived benefits including timely access to services, increased practice efficiency, and increased availability of services. However, barriers included insufficient availability of resources, provider complacency, and difficulty for clients to accept and adjust to change. The findings can inform targeted implementation strategies and continuous improvement cycles. [Extracted from the article] |
