Modified Delphi using three rounds of survey questionnaires and one consensus workshop. Uganda for face-to-face consensus activities, global for online survey questionnaires. A multidisciplinary expert panel was convened at a consensus-development conference in Uganda and included 21 researchers with experience leading challenge contests, five public health sector workers, and nine Ugandan end users. An online survey was sent to 140 corresponding authors of previously published articles that had used crowdsourcing methods. A subgroup of expert panel members developed the initial statement and survey. We received responses from 120 (85.7%) survey participants, which were presented at an in-person workshop of all 21 panel members. Panelists discussed each of the sections, revised the statement, and participated in a second round of the sure collaboration. There is high agreement among crowdsourcing experts and stakeholders on the design and implementation of crowdsourcing challenge contests. The COPARSE consensus statement can be used to organise crowdsourcing challenge contests, improve the rigour and reproducibility of crowdsourcing research and enable large-scale collaboration. The main objective of this exploratory study was to investigate the overlooked perspectives and beliefs of Accredited Social Health Activists (ASHA workers) regarding a collaborative care mental health intervention (HOPE ealthier tions through mpowerment), mental illness and the health of their rural communities. Semi-structured, one-on-one, qualitative interviews. Seven primary health centres (PHCs) in rural Karnataka, India. All PHCs had previously completed the HOPE study. 15 ASHA workers, selected via purposive sampling. ASHAs are high school-educated village women trained as
