    • To describe and evaluate a community mental health service established in 1991-1992.
    • To assess the effectiveness of the service in an isolated rural setting.
    • To determine if the service met the mental illness needs of the target population.

    Main Methods:

    • Described the evolution of a traveling team model comprising psychiatrists and nurses.
