Description
Nhu Kieu Tran and four co-authors test a phone-supported self-help program for depression in Vietnam. Care for mental health is scarce there, and telehealth could widen access. Their 2025 study ran Tele-SSM, a program of ten weekly remote sessions led by trained para-professionals.
Seventy-five adults with depression symptoms joined, and 58 finished. Recruitment hit about 94 percent of target, and 77 percent stayed to the end, both above the bars set in advance. Most finishers completed the program within the planned number of sessions. Satisfaction interviews and score changes were tracked alongside. The team judged the program workable and welcome, with early signs of benefit, in a setting where therapy is hard to find.
