Abstract There are few reliable and feasible quality assurance methods to support scaling up of psychological interventions delivered by non-specialist providers. This paper reports on the phased development and validation of a digitally administered Knowledge of Problem Solving (KOPS) measure to assess competencies associated with a “task-shared” problem-solving intervention for adolescents with diverse mental health problems in India. Phase 1 established key competencies required to deliver the intervention, followed by item generation for a corresponding knowledge-based competency measure that could be administered efficiently through e-learning systems. In phase 2, items were refined based on responses from an “experienced” reference sample comprising 17 existing counsellors with direct experience of the problem-solving intervention, and a “novice” sample with 14 untrained university students and NGO staff. In phase 3, we evaluated two parallel versions of the measure in a validation sample ( N = 277) drawn from universities and NGOs. The resulting 17-item measure was structured around a hypothetical case, followed by multiple-choice questions that asked about the most appropriate response to a practice-based scenario. The difficulty level of the test items was well matched to the ability level of participants (i.e. most items being of moderate difficulty and few items being easy or difficult). Only one item showed a negative discrimination index and was removed from the 17-item forms. The final 16-item version of the KOPS measure provides a scalable digital method to assess key psychotherapeutic competencies among non-specialists, particularly in relation to a transdiagnostic problem-solving intervention. Similar formats could be deployed more widely alongside e-learning programmes to expand the global workforce capable of delivering evidence-based psychological interventions.

Abstract Digital health is increasingly gaining momentum in psychiatry, contributing to better public mental health. The World Psychiatric Association (WPA) is committed to capacity building and training in global mental health and care by integrating competencies and resources, including digital means. The WPA Action Plan Working Group on Digitalization in Mental Health and Care supports the promotion and implementation of digital health in mental health care worldwide. The Working Group is active in producing and improving evidence, data acquisition, policy development, education, and implementation of digital mental health and care. The Working Group has recently completed a survey shared with all 145 WPA member societies to draw a baseline account of the availability, use, and impact of digital health globally. The survey covered questions on digitalization in general and mental health care regarding the status and spectrum of digital tools and programs used in each represented country. The survey, supported by the WPA President, Staff, and 18 Zonal Representatives, was completed by member societies from all WPA/World Health Organization (WHO) regions. Findings will help ensuring accessibility, equity, and progress in country-adapted upscaling of digital mental health and care. Survey results, together with our newly developed WPA official position statement on digitalization, provide clear priorities and targeted interventions that will guide WPA to support the development and implementation of digital mental health and care to transform health systems worldwide, improve professional collaboration, promote mental health, prevent stigma, and ensure universal mental health coverage.
