Feasibility, acceptability, and pilot effectiveness of a social-contact-based intervention to reduce mental health-related stigma among primary care providers in China, Ethiopia, India, Nepal, and Tunisia: Findings from a multi-site pre-post study
Relief from stress via social protection in Senegal (Restore)
Background Despite the growing prevalence of mental health disorders in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), significant barriers to seeking and accessing mental health services persist. Within lower-income populations, the prevalence of mental health disorders and barriers to addressing them are worsened by poverty. Self-Help Plus (SH+) is a group-based stress management program delivered using a task-sharing model and designed to circumven…
Contextually salient barriers and facilitators to implementing community-based mental health interventions delivered by non-specialists in Senegal
Mental health conditions represent a major global burden. However, minimally adequate treatment coverage for common mental disorders remains critically low. Task-sharing solutions using non-specialist providers are promising, but successful implementation requires understanding local culture and context. This study explored facilitators and barriers to implementing non-specialist mental health interventions in Senegal. We conducted in-depth quali…
Economic shocks and mental health in Bangladesh
INTRODUCTION: Economic shocks, that is, events that cause a sudden loss of income for households, are common in low-income and middle-income countries (LMICs), yet their impact on mental health remains understudied. While such shocks may contribute to depression and anxiety, evidence remains limited, particularly in resource-poor settings where mental health disorders are underdiagnosed and undertreated. This study examines the causal impact of e…
Drought, worry, and preparing for the future
The impacts of climate change in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) presents a chronic and intensifying disaster, with drought, flooding, and extreme heat, presenting unique challenges and profound disruptions. Growing evidence links such events to ecological grief, ecological anxiety, and solastalgia – negative affective states that reflects responses to climate change related destruction of nature, species, culturally significant or sacred spaces, and ot…
Ecological grief among farmers and pastoralists in Ethiopia and Kenya
Climate change is a major cause of mental distress worldwide. In many ways, climate change has become a chronic disaster, while in other ways each acute event can accumulate and present challenges within and between communities. A growing body of evidence indicates that a changing climate can precipitate a cluster of negative affective states scholars call “ecological grief.” Ecological grief reflects psychological responses to climate changes an…
Translation and Adaptation of the Child and Youth Resilience Measure-Revised and Rugged Resilience Measure
Resilience, the capacity to adapt positively in adversity, is a key protective factor for adolescent well-being, particularly for depression and anxiety, which are highly prevalent among adolescents in Nepal. Accurate measurement across cultural contexts is essential to identify at-risk adolescents and understand protective mechanisms. This study culturally adapted and evaluated the psychometric properties of the Child and Youth Resilience Measur…
Cultural adaptation process of six stigma assessment scales among Kannada speaking population in South India
For several years stigma researchers in India have relied on Western instruments or semi-structured stigma scales in their studies. However, these scales have not been rigorously translated and adapted to the local cultural framework. In the current study, we describe the cultural adaptation of six stigma scales with the purpose of using it in the native language (Kannada) based on translation steps of forward translation, expert review and synth…
Cultural and contextual adaptation of the Solastalgia subscale of the Environmental Distress Scale in drought-affected Kilifi, Kenya
Background There is an urgent need to measure the psychological toll of climate-related ecological degradation and destruction in low- and middle-income countries. However, availability of locally adapted tools is limited. Our objective was to conduct a transcultural translation and cultural adaptation (TTA) of the Solastalgia subscale of the Environmental Distress Scale (EDS-Solastalgia) in Kilifi, Kenya, which is undergoing transformational cha…
No prediction without prevention
Given the rate of advancement in predictive psychiatry, there is a threat that it outpaces public and professional willingness for use in clinical care and public health. Prediction tools in psychiatry estimate the risk of future development of mental health conditions. Prediction tools used with young populations have the potential to reduce the worldwide burden of depression. However, little is known globally about adolescents' and other stakeh…
Understanding mental health stigma and discrimination in Ethiopia
Stigma and exclusion are prominent in the experiences of people with mental health conditions and their caregivers in this rural Ethiopian setting. Measurement of stigma and the development of interventions should consider how stigma is socially constructed. Anti-stigma interventions need to be implemented alongside expanded local access to mental healthcare
Cultural adaptation of Indigo mental health stigma reduction interventions using an ecological validity model in north India
Stigma reduction strategies with varied target groups, based on culturally appropriate adaptations, are more likely to be acceptable to the stakeholders involved in the intervention, and to be effective in terms of the program impact
Adapting and piloting a social contact-based intervention to reduce mental health stigma among primary care providers
Stigma among primary care providers (PCPs) is a barrier to successful integration of mental health services in primary healthcare settings globally. Therefore, cross-culturally adaptable and feasible strategies are needed to reduce stigma among PCPs. This protocol is for a multi-site pilot study that aims to adapt and evaluate cross-cultural feasibility and acceptability of a social contact-based primary healthcare intervention in 7 sites in 5 lo…
Characterizing the implementation of performance management interventions in a primary health care system
Performance management (PM) reforms have been introduced in health systems worldwide to improve accountability, transparency and learning. However, gaps in evidence exist regarding the ways in which PM contributes to organizational-level outcomes. Between 2015 and 2017, the government of El Salvador and the Salud Mesoamerica Initiative (SMI) introduced team-based PM interventions in the country’s primary health care (PHC) system including target …
Defining culturally compelling mental health interventions
There is growing policy, practice, and research interest in reducing the treatment gap for adolescent depression in low- and middle-income countries, where 90% of the world's adolescents live. Despite increased efforts for adolescent depression services in these settings, there is a risk that services will not be utilized if initiatives are not culturally compelling. Therefore, we propose three considerations for culturally compelling programs an…
Tension and Other Idioms of Distress Among Slum Dwelling Young Men
In low- and middle-income countries (LMIC) it is vital to understand acceptable, comprehensive, and culturally appropriate ways of communicating about mental distress. Diagnostic terminology is rarely used, may be stigmatizing, and is subject to misinterpretation. Local terms, such as idioms of distress, can improve mental health literacy and service delivery. Our objective was to examine lived experience and coping connected to distress and depr…
