In brief

Study Hypotheses (Ho) and Research Questions (RQ): * Ho1. AHH will significantly improve patient depression treatment acceptance/adherence and depression symptoms vs UC at 6 and 12 months post-baseline. * Ho2.

What is the association between depression symptoms and concurrent chronic illness self-care management over time by group? * RQ2. Will AHH reduce hospitalizations and Emergency Room visits and improve clinic appointment-keeping? * RQ3. Will patient care satisfaction and reported barriers to self-care management vary by study group? * RQ4. What factors are identified via qualitative assessments of patients, promotoras, Department of Health Services (DHS) medical and social work providers, and DHS clinic/organizational leadership regarding satisfaction with, sustainable uptake of, and suggested modifications of the AHH promotora delivery model? * RQ5. What potential technology applications would enhance promotoras delivering patient-centered self-care training and resource navigation, communicating and integrating care with DHS, and disseminating AHH?
