The high comorbidity of mental health issues and meth use in women worsens both their mental health and meth use outcomes. The study team proposes to evaluate the potential of Friendship Bench to be used as a low-threshold, task-shifting mental health intervention among women who use methamphetamine in Vietnam - a lower-middle-income country. The study will provide preliminary data for a R01 trial testing the effectiveness Friendship Bench to improve mental health and methamphetamine use outcomes among women who use methamphetamine in Vietnam.
