Effectiveness of a mental health stepped-care programme for healthcare workers with psychological distress in crisis settings: a multicentre randomised controlled trial

Conclusions
Brief stepped-care psychological interventions reduce anxiety and depression during a period of stress among HCWs.

Clinical implications
Our results can inform policies and actions to protect the mental health of HCWs during major health crises and are potentially rapidly replicable in other settings where workers are affected by global emergencies.
