Barriers and facilitators to integrating mental health and psychosocial support into economic inclusion programming for displaced families in ecuador
Background Displaced populations have increased rates of mental health problems, which have been shown to have a bidirectional relationship with economic insecurity. Despite growing calls globally to integrate mental health and psychosocial support (MHPSS) with economic inclusion (EI) programming, few models exist for practical implementation. We co-developed and piloted the Building the Future Toolkit (i.e., the Toolkit), an integrated MHPSS-EI …
An analysis of national guidelines for the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of cryptococcal meningitis in sub-Saharan African countries
INTRODUCTION: Cryptococcal meningitis (CM) is an infection of the central nervous system that accounts for approximately 19% of AIDS-related mortality worldwide, with the highest burden being in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). In 2022, the WHO released clinical guidelines on the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of CM, based on strong evidence-based studies. It is not known how these WHO guidelines are being integrated at the national level. This stu…
Prevalence of Mental Disorders and Healthcare Seeking Among Mozambican Adolescents in School
The objective of this study was to describe the prevalence and demographic correlates of mental disorders and healthcare-seeking behavior of adolescents in Mozambique. Trained assessors administered sociodemographic questionnaires and the Portuguese Mini International Neuropsychiatric Interview for Children and Adolescents (MINI-KID) to adolescents in two schools in Maputo City, Mozambique to determine mental disorder diagnoses. Associations betw…
Qualitative evaluation of the multilevel influences on mental health and barriers and facilitators to care among Mozambican adolescents with HIV
Mental health problems among adolescents with HIV (AWH) serve as a significant barrier to achieving optimal HIV health outcomes, but the mental health treatment gap for AWH remains large, particularly in the highest HIV-burden settings. We examined perceptions of mental health problems, influences on mental health, and barriers and facilitators to mental health care for AWH in Mozambique, a lower-resource, high HIV-burden context. We conducted fo…
The Sociocultural Dynamics of Mental Distress, Migration, and Family Among South Asians in the United States
We explore the dynamics of mental health, family, and migration within the experiences of United States–based South Asian immigrants with severe mental illness (SMI) diagnoses and their family members. We utilized a grounded theory approach to understand emerging unique cultural aspects (i.e., on economic hardship, racial discrimination) that have not been previously identified. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 21 South Asian patien…
Integrating mental health and psychosocial support into economic inclusion programming for displaced families in Ecuador
This study provides preliminary evidence of the acceptability and feasibility of integrating MHPSS into economic inclusion programs for displaced people. We found evidence supporting evaluation methods that can be employed in a future study to definitively test the added value of integrated approaches to mental health and economic wellbeing for displaced persons
Mental health and ART adherence among adolescents living with HIV in Mozambique
Little is known about the mental health needs of adolescents living with HIV (ALWH) in Mozambique, including the potential relationship between mental health challenges and poor antiretroviral treatment (ART) adherence. We examined mental health problems (anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder [PTSD] symptoms and impairment) and their association with self-reported ART adherence among ALWH ages 15–19 in Nampula, Mozambique. The assoc…
Emotional contagion behavior in a group of young girls in a secondary school in Maputo, Mozambique
Background: Emotional Contagion Behavior (ECB), the synchronized expression of emotional symptoms among members of a group, has been observed globally. In Mozambique, there have been numerous reports of ECB in recent years. Since 2010 several girls from a secondary school in Maputo City, Mozambique exhibited ECB which involved repeated fainting spells, sometimes including verbal aggression and threats to colleagues and teachers. We conducted a st…
Validation of a brief screener for broad-spectrum mental and substance-use disorders in South Africa
In low-resource settings, valid mental health screening tools for non-specialists can be used to identify patients with psychiatric disorders in need of critical mental health care. The Mental Wellness Tool-13 (mwTool-13) is a 13-item screener for identifying adults at risk for common mental disorders (CMDs) alcohol-use disorders (AUDs), substance-use disorders (SUD), severe mental disorders (SMDs), and suicide risk (SR). The mwTool-13 is adminis…
Leveraging Stakeholder Engagement and Virtual Environments to Develop a Strategy for Implementation of Adolescent Depression Services Integrated Within Primary Care Clinics of Mozambique
Psychiatric disorders are the number one cause of disability in adolescents worldwide. Yet, in low- and middle-income countries (LMIC), where 90% of adolescents reside, mental health services are extremely limited, and the majority do not have access to treatment. Integration of mental health services within primary care of LMICs has been proposed as an efficient and sustainable way to close the adolescent mental health treatment gap. However, th…
Women's mental health in Mozambique
The frequency of CMD among women of childbearing age in our study was higher than documented rates in high-income countries and other LMIC. Additionally, we found that motherhood was not protective and that pregnancy and the postpartum period were not stages of increased risk for most disorders. This highlights the need to expand mental health services not only for perinatal women but all women of childbearing age in this and possibly similar set…
Does It Matter What Screener We Use? A Comparison of Ultra-brief PHQ-4 and E-mwTool-3 Screeners for Anxiety and Depression Among People With and Without HIV
Building community-based helping practices by training peer-father counselors
Retrospective analysis of risk factors and gaps in prevention strategies for mother-to-child HIV transmission in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
While PMTCT coverage has improved over the years, completion of services remains insufficient. Along with interventions to promote care-seeking behaviour, increased infrastructural support for PMTCT services is needed to meet the HIV MTCT elimination goal in Brazil as well as address rising national rates of congenital syphilis
