An Integrated CHW Implementation Study

Full-time, supervised, and trained CHWs delivering evidence-based integrated care appears to be effective in improving maternal healthcare in rural Nepal.

Innovating Suicide Prevention and Response Strategies

Suicide is a pressing global health issue, and South Asia, in particular, faces some of the highest rates. In collaboration with Dhulikhel Hospital, Kathmandu University Hospital, Yale University, and local municipalities in Dolakha, Possible is committed to finding innovative ways to strengthen mental health support within the community.

Supporting CHWs to Deliver Mental Health and NCD Care

Through a 5-year implementation research project funded by the National Institute of Mental Health. We are conducting a stepped-wedge randomized controlled trial to evaluate a combined behavioral intervention called BECOME.

Multicomponent Family Intervention in Improving Mental Wellbeing and Reducing Intimate Partner Violence Among Young Married Women

Our team, in partnership with WOREC, has created and successfully pilot tested an innovative intervention called MILAP, which means “unity and reconciliation” in Nepali. MILAP is a family-based intervention designed to help women experiencing intimate partner violence (IPV) by engaging their husbands and mothers-in-law in improving and strengthening their family relationships. In our pilot study involving 75 participants from 25 families in Nepal, MILAP was found to be safe, practical, and effective, resulting in a substantial reduction in depression and IPV among women.

Can A Co-Designed Digital Tool Help Assess and Reduce Stigma For People Living With HIV?

People living with HIV (PLWH) often face poor health outcomes due to stigma, including factors like mental health, race, gender, and sexual orientation. In collaboration with government and non-government stakeholders, and PLWH, we are working to tackle these issues in our upcoming initiative, ‘‘Developing and Testing a Digital Health Tool for INterseCtional stigma assessment and reduction at multiple Levels and mUltiple DimEnsions (INCLUDE) To Improve HIV Care in ART Centers in Nepal”, supported by National Institutes of Health (NIH). This three-year study will be pre-pilot tested at one ART center in Kathmandu, and pilot-tested at four different ART centers representing different geographic regions of Nepal.

Healthcare For All

Everyone, from the foothills of the Himalayas to the streets of New York City, deserves high-quality healthcare.

Possible works to achieve the vision of everyone everywhere having access to high-quality healthcare. In pursuit of this vision, Possible focuses on building the evidence-base needed to address gaps in the equity, quality, and accessibility of healthcare in Nepal. Possible leverages research and evidence to inform innovative solutions to healthcare challenges in context and from stated or established needs.

Possible roots its work in places like Achham, a remote district in the Far Western Province and Dolakha in Bagmati Province in Nepal, where we have a long history and where there is both great need and interest in engaging in research.
