Participating GPs will engage with peers and key opinion leaders to identify and test practical strategies that they can implement to improve the care for their patients with work-related mental health conditions. As part of the study, GPs are asked to:
- recruit seven patients (per practice) with a diagnosed or suspected work-related mental health condition
- complete two data collection activities (15-20 minutes each)
If randomised to the intervention arm:
- participate in a one hour session of academic detailing
- participate in a one hour webinar.
Total time commitment is three hours over nine months.
GPs will receive an $800 payment and 40 CPD points, and each practice will receive a $500 payment to compensate for time spent on the study.
The IMPRovE trial is funded by an NHMRC Partnership Grant, and official partner organisations: Beyond Blue, the Attorney-General’s Department, Comcare, Queensland Government Office of Industrial Relations, State Insurance Regulatory Authority, WorkSafe Victoria, WorkCover WA and iCare.
