Clinical Trial Summary

This is a mixed-methods study. The quantitative component will comprise of a multicentre rater-blind, randomized controlled trial to evaluate the feasibility and acceptability of AISHA in addition to treatment as usual (TAU) compared to TAU alone in Pakistan. In-depth interviews and focus groups with other stakeholders will take place to consider the wider implementation of AISHA in mental health services in Pakistan.


Clinical Trial Description

Mental health resources in LMICs, including Pakistan, do not match the burden of mental illness, resulting in a massive mental health treatment gap. Interventions delivered on mobile platforms (M-Health) have the potential to overcome these barriers. Evidence supports the acceptability and efficacy of interventions delivered on digital platforms for a variety of mental disorders. Mobile-based interventions have been developed to target self-harm, however, there is paucity of research supporting their efficacy in LMIC. To our knowledge there are currently no clinical trials examining the feasibility, acceptability and preliminary efficacy of a culturally adapted CBT informed problem solving intervention delivered on a digital platform for self-harm prevention.We have developed an Artificial Intelligence Self-Harm prevention Application (AISHA) to deliver an evidence-based problem solving intervention (CMAP) for people presenting with self-harm. ;
