Background: Though integrating psychiatric care into primary care is thought to be a pivotal step, a huge gap remains in translating this training into clinical practice at primary health centers (PHCs) in India. To address this, we aim to explore the perspectives of the primary care doctors (PCDs) from an implementation research angle.
Methods: An anonymous online survey with a semi-structured questionnaire gathered PCDs' perspectives on integrating primary care psychiatry training into India's healthcare system, focusing on Acceptability, Adoption, Appropriateness, and Feasibility subsets based on the conceptual framework for implementation outcomes.
