The adaptation of a youth mental health intervention to a peer-delivery model utilizing CBPR methods and the Adapt-ITT framework in Sierra Leone
Low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) carry a significant proportion of the global burden of untreated mental health disorders. Peer-delivered programs offer LMICs with limited mental health professionals an opportunity to increase mental health service access. This study describes the process of adapting a lay-worker-delivered evidence-based youth mental health intervention to a peer-delivery model in Sierra Leone using participatory methods.…
Exploring potential mental health spillover effects among caregivers and partners of youth in Sierra Leone
Given the large mental health treatment gap in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), particularly in post-conflict settings like Sierra Leone, and the limited healthcare infrastructure, understanding the wider benefits of evidence-based mental health interventions within households is critical. This study explored potential mental health spillover effects - the phenomenon of beneficial effects among nonparticipants - among cohabitating caregi…
Exploring Naturalistic Diffusion of an Evidence-Based Mental Health Intervention across Peer Networks of Youth in Sierra Leone
Findings suggest that diffusion of evidence-based intervention components can occur naturally among peers in post-conflict LMIC settings. Developing tools to promote the diffusion of the most transferrable EBI components across peer networks could help maximize the benefits of mental health interventions for youth adjustment and resilience in post-conflict settings
Biography, Authenticity and Personalised Post-Mortem Practices in Aotearoa/New Zealand
Current thanatology discourse details a new ethos of openness transforming death-related practices, accentuating a shift to personalised rituals, authenticity and expressive grief. Drawing on ethnographic interviews with mourners and funeral professionals, this article explores these putative post-mortem changes and critically assesses the claims and counterclaims concerning funerary arrangements in New Zealand. While underscoring the complexity …
Final arrangements
Prevailing discourses condemn funerals as a costly distress purchase where funeral directors have greedily preyed upon funeral arrangers’ grief laden vulnerability. They explain funerals as distress purchases and so debt as the outcome of irrational decisions made while emotionally overwhelmed. These discourses ignore how people might use funeral purchases in dealing with the experience of death as they obscure rather than explain the emotionally…
"Tapuand the invention of the "death taboo
Is death "taboo" or " tapu"? Why do these two versions of the same word evoke such different cultural responses to issues of death and the dead? In this paper, we explore Western anthropological interpretations of the "death taboo", its relationship to Māori understanding of tapu, and how the transformation of tapu into "taboo" influences engagement with human remains. We maintain that such an anthropological approach-incorporating historical, ar…
Corpses, conflict and insignificance? A critical analysis of post-mortem practices
The personalisation of post-mortem practices has been presented as one of the significant mortuary shifts associated with secularisation in contemporary, western society. While some authors have lamented a loss of meaningful, communal ritual (Crouch, 2004; Hunter, 2007; Wouters, 2002), others have evaluated this shift as a positive development reflecting the realities of changing demographic profiles and consumer demands. This paper critically ex…
Dead Serious? Funeral Directing in New Zealand
This article examines the history of funeral directing in New Zealand and highlights a number of significant shifts in occupational orientation. The first identifiable transition involved the shift from undertaker to funeral director in the early twentieth century. Attempts to professionalise the occupation during this period parallel similar developments in the United States, and illustrate the increasing bureaucratisation and rationalisation of…
Post-mortem personalization
This paper critically examines the personalization of Pakeha (European) post-mortem practices in New Zealand. While much of the discourse surrounding funerary and disposal processes maintains that contemporary practices demonstrate a denial of death and funeral director esurience, funeral directors themselves argue that the Anglophone approach to death has been superseded by personalized funerary practices. Although funeral director rhetoric emph…
