a Possible scores range from 1 to 5, with lower scores indicating greater depression knowledge [36]; b Possible scores range from 1 to 4, with higher scores indicating greater perception of skills [36]; c Possible scores range from 1 to 5, with higher scores indicating less depression stigma [36]; d Possible scores range from 1 to 3, with lower scores indicating less barriers; e Possible scores range from 1 to 5, with higher scores indicating greater use of depression care techniques [36]; f Possible scores range from 1 to 5, with higher scores indicating greater use of depression case management tasks [36]; g Possible scores range from 1 to 3, with higher scores indicating more frequent use of the resources for individuals who showed symptoms of depression and came to this organization for services; h Possible scores range from 0 to 5, with higher scores indicating more hours providing services [36]; i Possible scores range from 1 to 5, with higher scores indicating greater percentage of working time spent on engaging in community outreach for depression; j Possible scores range from 1 to 7, with higher scores indicating more improtant for improving services.
