Similarly, using a randomized control trial in rural Pakistan, Atif Rahman and his colleagues showed that lady health visitors, who are community maternal health workers in Pakistan's health care system, could deliver cognitive behavior therapy for mothers who were depressed, again showing dramatic differences in the recovery rates. Roughly 75 percent of mothers recovered as compared to about 45 percent in the comparison villages.
Noutro estudo aleatorio controlado en áreas rurais de Pakistán, Atif Rahman e os seus colaboradores demostraron que as mulleres visitadoras que eran traballadoras de saúde maternal da comunidade pertencentes ao sistema de saúde pakistaní poideron prestar terapia cognitiva conductual a nais que sufriron depresión demostrando grandes diferencias nas tasas de recuperación. Cerca do 75% das nais se recuperaron fronte ao 45% no grupo control.
