Abstract | Mental health constitutes an integral dimension of overall well-being, significantly influencing individuals' quality of life and societal harmony. In rural regions, like Madhya Pradesh, accessing adequate mental health care often poses substantial challenges due to various barriers. This study aims to evaluate the impact of training on the awareness of common mental disorders (CMDs) among Community Health Officers (CHOs) in Raisen District, Madhya Pradesh. Using a quasi-experimental design, 42 CHOs from Health & Wellness Centres in the Raisen district participated in a comprehensive two-day training program covering CMD identification, assessment, and management. Baseline knowledge assessment revealed a moderate pre-training score of 18.2 out of 30, while the post-training score significantly improved to 26.8. The study emphasizes the pivotal role of such training interventions in enhancing mental health care awareness and proficiency within underserved communities ultimately contributing to improved accessibility and quality of mental health care in rural settings. |
