BACKGROUND Workplace interventions are recommended for workers with common mental disorders, but knowledge of their action mechanisms and operationalization remains limited. The Therapeutic Return-to-Work Program, developed for workers with musculoskeletal disorders, is recommended for common mental disorders. OBJECTIVE Our objective was to adapt this program's logic models to common mental disorders. METHODS A program logic analysis was conducted using a literature review and a two-phase group consensus method. We submitted a preliminary adapted version of the program's logic models and two questionnaires to health professional experts who participated in two group sessions, ultimately to produce the final version of the models. RESULTS We consulted 86 publications. The health professional experts (N = 7) had overall mean agreement scores of respectively 4.10/5 and 3.89/5 for questions on the program's theoretical and operational models. The final version of the logic models adapted for common mental disorders included four specific and 15 intermediate objectives, three main components, one optional component, four key processes, and 44 tasks. CONCLUSION The adapted logic models for the Therapeutic Return-to-Work Program show the relevance of the original objectives and components for common mental disorders. The next step will involve evaluating its feasibility with other stakeholders (insurers, employers, unions, workers).
