A mixed-methods process evaluation was conducted alongside a randomized controlled trial (RCT), following the Medical Research Council (MRC) framework. Post-trial qualitative data were collected through individual interviews with intervention participants (n = 10) and stakeholders (n = 10), as well as a focus group with intervention providers (n = 8). Thematic analysis was performed using NVivo. Cultural stigma and practical barriers influenced engagement, while community leaders fostered trust and participation. Interventions were feasible and acceptable. Digital delivery improved accessibility for some but posed challenges for those with low technological literacy or private spaces. The stepped-care approach supported gradual engagement with mental health strategies, enhancing self-care and emotional awareness, while provider relationships were key to sustaining motivation. The stepped-care model alleviated psychological distress and was well-received.
