Objectives:

 ● To develop and implement a service delivery model that would result in high coverage (at least 70%) of screening, linkage to care, and management of priority mental disorders among persons seeking care for NCDs at public health facilities. 

● To assess the feasibility of adopting the implementation model by the health care system.

● To determine the cost of the implementation of the service delivery model. Methods: It will be a multi-site, quasi-experimental, within-site, interrupted time series design implementation study using a mixed-methods design incorporating formative and evaluative components into iterative improvement cycles. The implementation model consisting of screening, linkage, and treatment in mental health services integrating into NCD care, will be optimized with Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research (CFIR) while implementing the model in at least three blocks of seven districts of seven states. Expected outcome: Increase in the proportion of patients screened and managed for mental health disorders among those screened positive for or having established NCDs.
