Methods: Seventy seven practices with one hundred and eleven community-based family physicians were recruited. Each practice was assigned a practice number. Each physician within the practice was assigned a unique identifier number. Individual practitioner or practice teams were randomly assigned to intervention or control groups. Randomization was stratified on the total number of physicians per practice, as well as urban or rural setting to ensure equal distribution of practice clusters and urban and rural groups. STATA, version 12 [College Station, TX, 2012] to generate the sequence for practice [cluster] randomization. Random numbers were generated from a binomial distribution with a probability of success of 0.5. Intervention group participants attended 3 half-day workshops with a "6- week action period" between workshops to practice learnings. Practice support was provided through diagnostic assessment tools, evidence based self-management tools, and on-site practice support coordinator support. A stigma-assessment tool, the Opening Minds Scale for Healthcare Providers (OMS-HC), was administered to both groups at intervention group pre-training, and post-training. Providers comfort and confidence in diagnosing and managing mental illness was also assessed, at comparable times.
