To achieve the goals of the study we will take a mixed methods approach and this will include eliciting explanatory models of depression and anxiety in the target group, identifying and adapting an evidence based psychological treatment to meet contextual requirements, identifying and validating an appropriate tool for screening, developing referral pathways, and testing the acceptability and feasibility of our package of care made up of screening, intervention, and referral.
