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.
Slično, koristeći ispitivanje nasumične kontrole u ruralnom Pakistanu, Atif Rahman i njegovi kolege pokazali su da žene koje povremeno pomažu u zdravstvenom radu, koje su društvene zdravstvene radnice za majke u pakistanskom zdravstvenom sustavu, mogu pružiti terapiju za kognitivno ponašanje za majke koje su bile depresivne, opet pokazujući dramatičnu razliku u brzini oporavka. Otprilike 75% majki se oporavilo uspoređujući s 45% u sličnim selima.
