No findings were extractable from the material analysed.
Safety was not reported in the material analysed. Check the source before drawing any conclusion about harm.
The source did not state who this applies to in practice.
Graded across the dimensions that decide whether you should act, each from what the source actually supports. There is no single score, and where a dimension was not assessed it says so.
This record has not been graded across any dimension yet. Treat the label above as provisional and read the source.
What is missing. This record has no bottom line, key findings, reported figures, evidence dimensions. That is a gap in the analysis, not a judgement about the study.
Registry record from ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT06894680). This is a study registration, not published results. Lead sponsor: Royal Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene. Recruitment status: COMPLETED. Phase: NA. Study type: INTERVENTIONAL. Enrollment: 100 participants (ACTUAL). Conditions: Older Adults (50-90 Years), Depression. Interventions: OTHER: Stepped care; OTHER: Treatment as usual. Primary outcome measures: Effectiveness of a Stepped-Care Task-Sharing (SCT) Model in reducing depressive symptoms measured by Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9). , Baseline PHQ-9 score (before intervention) Follow-up assessments at 6 weeks, 3 months, and 6 months. Brief summary: Depression levels will be compared using PHQ-9 in the Treatment as Usual arm(TAU) VS intervention arm to see if the stepped care intervention is effective in treating depression. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Needs assessment of stepped-care integration versus usual care for treating depression in older adults living with HIV? * How effective will the stepped care task-sharing (SCT) model in reducing depressive symptoms and improving HIV treatment outcomes in older PLHIV in Nigeria? Participants who screen positive for depression PHQ-9 ≥10 will be randomized into 2 arms for treatment using a systemized ballot system: TAU arm and Intervention arm. TAU arm will receive current treatment available for depression at the HIV center. Intervention arm will receive the stepped-care intervention in stages based on their symptom severity. Follow-up assessments at (6 weeks, 3months, 6 months, 9 months and 12 months) will be conducted by assessors who would be blinded to the different groups (TAU arm VS intervention arm).
