Fidelity and feasibility of a pilot implementation of adapted WHO digital interventions to scale up mental health in Nigerian primary care
To address challenges in the real-world implementation of digital health for mental healthcare in Nigeria, this study conducted a process evaluation of five World Health Organization-recommended digital tools within a state-wide primary health care program in Lagos. Employing a convergent mixed-methods design across five facilities, we measured implementation fidelity through observation and platform analytics, and assessed stakeholder perception…
Association between common mental disorders and the severity of dysmenorrhea among female medical students at the University of Ibadan, Nigeria
This study examines the association between common mental disorders, such as anxiety, depression, stress, and low self-esteem, and the severity of dysmenorrhea among female medical students at the University of Ibadan, Nigeria. This cross-sectional study was conducted among 171 female medical students that were menstruating regularly. Data were collected with a structured questionnaire validated by expert independent observer. Common mental disor…
Exploring contextual barriers and facilitators to sustaining mental health integration in primary care
Background: Mental health interventions in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) face significant sustainability challenges, often leading to 'programme drift' (protocol deviation ) and 'voltage drop' (reduced effectiveness). While implementation science frameworks emphasise fidelity, they often fail to explain how frontline providers in resource-constrained settings maintain services. Here, we investigate how adaptive mechanisms function as l…
Perceptions of the psychological experiences surrounding female genital mutilation/cutting (FGM/C) among the Izzi in Southeast Nigeria
Evidence about psychological experiences surrounding female genital mutilation/cutting (FGM/C) remains weak and inconclusive. This article is the first of a series that deploys qualitative methods to ascertain the psychological experiences associated with FGM/C through the lifecycle of women. Using the free listing method, 103 girls and women, aged 12 to 68 years from rural and urban Izzi communities in Southeastern Nigeria, produced narratives t…
Treatment gap for anxiety disorders is global
BACKGROUND: Anxiety disorders are a major cause of burden of disease. Treatment gaps have been described, but a worldwide evaluation is lacking. We estimated, among individuals with a 12-month DSM-IV (where DSM is Diagnostic Statistical Manual) anxiety disorder in 21 countries, the proportion who (i) perceived a need for treatment; (ii) received any treatment; and (iii) received possibly adequate treatment. METHODS: Data from 23 community surveys…
Strengthening mental health system governance in six low- and middle-income countries in Africa and South Asia
Poor governance has been identified as a barrier to effective integration of mental health care in low- and middle-income countries. Governance includes providing the necessary policy and legislative framework to promote and protect the mental health of a population, as well as health system design and quality assurance to ensure optimal policy implementation. The aim of this study was to identify key governance challenges, needs and potential st…
Mental health system governance in Nigeria
The identified strategies provide a template for the subsequent activities of the Emerald Programme (and other interventions), towards strengthening the mental health system of Nigeria
Indicators for routine monitoring of effective mental healthcare coverage in low- and middle-income settings
High-quality information to measure the need for, and the uptake, cost, quality and impact of care is essential in the pursuit of scaling up mental health care in low- and middle-income countries (LMIC). The aim of this study was to identify indicators for the measurement of effective coverage of mental health treatment. We conducted a two-round Delphi study (n = 93 experts from primarily LMIC countries Ethiopia, India, Nepal, Nigeria, South Afri…
Psychoactive substance use among children in informal religious schools (Almajiris) in northern Nigeria
“Almajiri” is a term used to describe children in northern Nigeria who are sent to live with teachers of the Qur’an in order to receive religious instruction. Unable to cater for their needs, the teachers send the children to the streets to beg and do menial jobs. Drug use and other forms of high risk behaviour have not yet been studied among these children. A cross-sectional survey was conducted on 340 Almajiris in northeast Nigeria, using an ad…
