As part of The South Asia Self Harm Reduction Movement (SAHAR-M) – 2021, the objective of this project was to contextualise and culturally adapt e-mhGAP-IG (depression and self harm/suicide module) in an android-based app in the Urdu language. Six focus group discussions (8 – 10 participants) were conducted with GPs across different areas of Pakistan.

Thematic analysis was done, and themes were derived such as:

  • Barriers of using the mobile application in primary care settings
  • Benefits of using the e-MH gap mobile application Feedback and
    suggestions for additional features and functions in the e-mhGAP app
  • Training requirements for GPs to use the e-mhGAP application for depression and anxiety disorders.

The contextualisation process provided valuable insight for changes required to make a country-specific version of e mhGAP-IG and to optimize its use in Pakistan.
