Objectives and aims

IMPRovE was developed to facilitate behaviour change in general practice and improve the delivery of evidence-based care for patients with work-related mental health conditions in Australian general practice.

As such, the primary aim of IMPRovE is to:

• implement evidence-based guidelines for the diagnosis and management of work-related mental health conditions in general practice.

Our secondary aims are to:

• improve the health and return to work outcomes for patients with work-related mental health conditions in this study;
• evaluate the cost effectiveness of the guideline implementation strategy;
• develop an implementation plan for sustainability and national scale-up.
