|---|---|
| 1. Depression and suicidal behaviour is measured using the Patient Health Questionnaire, 9 items (PHQ-9; Kroenke et al, 2016) at baseline, 9 months, 13 months. Outcome measures related to the cost-effectiveness and cost-consequence of MENTUPP will be measured by: Costs: 1.

Time investment of research officers to implement MENTUPP is measured by the monitoring instrument at baseline, 9 months and 13 months. 6. Travel costs of research officers to implement MENTUPP is measured by the monitoring instrument at baseline, 9 months and 13 months. Effects: 1. The validated scales used to measure primary outcomes are used for the cost-effectiveness analysis at baseline, 9 months and 13 months. 2.
