Abstract
Background
Stress-related mental ill health is highly prevalent, and most individuals first seek help in primary care where access to psychological support is often limited.
Objective
To test whether nurse-led collaborative care (CC) is non-inferior to cognitive behavioural therapy delivered as psychologist-guided self-help (GSH-CBT) in reducing stress for adult primary care patients with stress-related mental ill health.
