Implementation of a school-based risk management protocol within a task-shifted mental healthcare model
Adolescent mental health problems are prevalent in low- and middle-income countries, like Kenya, where access to care remains severely limited. Task-shifted, school-based interventions offer solutions but often lack structured protocols for managing risk, such as suicidality or abuse. The Shamiri Risk Management Protocol (Shamiri-RMP) was developed to address this gap through a tiered system for screening, classifying and responding to risk withi…
Adolescent and youth-friendly health interventions in low-income and middle-income countries
BACKGROUND: Adolescents comprise one-sixth of the world's population, yet there is no clear understanding of the features that promote adolescent-friendly services (AFS). The lack of clarity and consistency around a definition presents a gap in health services. METHODS: The review was conducted following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses Extension for Scoping Reviews guidelines. We conducted a scoping review o…
Research Review
BACKGROUND: Youth anxiety and depression have long been combined within the empirically derived internalizing syndrome. The two conditions show substantial comorbidity, symptom co-occurrence, and overlap in treatment procedures, but paradoxically diverge in psychotherapy outcomes: strong, positive effects for anxiety and weak effects for depression. METHODS: Drawing on recent research, we examine candidate explanations for this paradox to help id…
Using wearable activity trackers for research in the global south
Wearable activity trackers have emerged as valuable tools for health research, providing high-resolution data on measures such as physical activity. While most research on these devices has been conducted in high-income countries, there is growing interest in their use in the global south. This perspective discusses the challenges faced and strategies employed when using wearable activity trackers to test the effects of a school-based interventio…

Conducting global mental health research
Mental health disorders are prevalent among youth and adolescents in low- and middle-income countries, and access to evidence-based treatments is poor. Although there is a great need for high-quality research to serve young people in low- and middle-income countries, there is limited guidance available for researchers who wish to conduct such work. Here, we describe our process of conducting school-based youth mental health work in Kenya over the…
