We assessed the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of a collaborative shared care (CSC) model for psychosis delivered by traditional and faith healers (TFH) and primary health care providers (PHCW). Cluster-randomized trial in Kumasi, Ghana and Ibadan, Nigeria. Clusters, each consisting of a primary care clinic and neighbouring TFH facilities, were stratified by size and country and randomly allocated (1:1) to either intervention group in which a manualised CSC was delivered by TFH and PHCW or control group with enhanced care as usual (eCAU). Participants were adults (aged ≥18 years) on admission in TFH facilities with active psychotic symptoms (Positive and Negative Schizophrenia Syndrome (PANSS) score ≥ 60). Blinded primary outcome assessments with PANSS and of costs were conducted at 6 months and at individual level. Trial registration number: ID:NCT02895269 51 clusters were randomly allocated (26 intervention, 25 control). 307 patients (166[54%] in the intervention group and 141[47%] in the control group) were enrolled between September 1, 2016 and May 3, 2017; 190(62%) were male. Baseline mean PANSS score was 107.3 (SD17.5) for CSC group and 108.9 (SD18.3) for eCAU group. 286 (93%) completed the 6-month follow-up at which the mean total PANSS score for CSC group was 53.4 (SD19.9), significantly lower than 67.6 (SD 23.3) for eCAU control group (adjusted mean difference −15.01 (95%CI −21.17to−8.84; p<0.0001). Mean PANSS negative, positive and general psychopathology sub-scale scores were also all significantly lower for CSC participants. CSC led to greater reductions in overall care costs. Mild extrapyramidal side effects were experienced by 5 CSC participants. Findings indicate that a collaborative shared care delivered by TFH and conventional health providers for persons with psychosis is effective and cost-effective. The model of care offers the prospect of scaling up improved care to this vulnerable population in settings with low resources. National Institute of Mental Health.
