A new problem-orientated method has been developed to identify the appropriate management of mental illnesses in cross-cultural primary care settings. It is designed to be used by intermediate level health workers in outpatient clinics in many different developing countries. The research undertaken to develop and evaluate this new method is described, and its implications for improving the quality of mental health care are discussed.
