Research design: A mixed methods research entailing of community survey (CS) using structured interview and focus group discussion (FGD) among service users of NSEP and OST and key informant interview (KII) among service providers in Kathmandu and Pokhara cities of Nepal.

Less than one percent were found dissatisfied with the overall quality of NSEP. In the context of OST, more than a half of service users (64.10%) agreed - among which a quarter of respondents (25.60%) strongly agreed and more than two-third (38.50%) agreed; that OST services they had been receiving was perfect.
