Summary:
We assessed dimensions of feasibility of a patient navigation system in the Head Start preschool setting to help low-income mothers with depression engage with mental health care. Forty-seven mothers participated; none refused. Navigators demonstrated excellent model fidelity; we experienced no adverse events. We discuss implications for future evaluation design.
