Abstract
⺠Three trials in developing countries addressed barriers to improving access to psychological treatments for depression. ⺠The barrier of human resources was addressed by using lay health workers. ⺠A systematic process of adaptation was followed to ensure contextual appropriateness. ⺠Other barriers such as low recognition, low adherence and stigma were also addressed. ⺠The resulting interventions showed significant benefits when compared with usual care.
