Domains	Participants interviewed	Sample research questions
1. Acceptability of Group PM+	Participants, family, CPSWs, community, psychosocial team	Is PM+ stigmatizing? Is it acceptable for CPSW to deliver PM+? What were parts of the program that could have been changed to make the program more acceptable for the community?
2. Implementation logistics; PM+ sites, local leadership	CPSWs, community, RAs and research staff, psychosocial team	How would we enhance project implementation (in terms of venue, coordination with local leadership, etc.)?
3. Feasibility of PM+ and burden (time, frequency, distance for providers and participants)	Participants, family, CPSWs, community, psychosocial team	How would make this program more sustainable? How would make this program more effective? Should the program be longer?
4. Fidelity and supervision (areas of deviation and cause, competency, amount and form of supervision)	CPSWs, psychosocial team	How did the CPSWs deviate from the material in the PM+ manual? Why did they deviate from the material? Was there a need for more or less supervision? What were the challenges to supervision?

7. Blinding/randomization; sources and timing of unbinding	CPSWs, mhGAP, community, RAs and research staff, psychosocial team	When did RAs and CPSWs know that different groups received different treatment? How did they know about the different groups?
