  • Insecure housing amongst forcibly displaced Ukrainian women in England: A qualitative exploration of mental health and coping responses

    Open Access•Margaret Seguin, Olha Fokaf et al.•ARTICLE•SSM - Mental Health•2026

    The ‘Homes for Ukraine’ (H4U) and Ukrainian Family visa schemes facilitated forcibly displaced Ukrainian nationals to enter England from March 2022. Despite accommodation provision implied in the H4U scheme name, barriers in accessing long-term housing have been a prominent stressor for many arrivals. Some have found themselves in insecure housing upon transitioning out of initial placements. Drawing on repeat interviews with 19 forcibly displace…

  • Help-Seeking Behaviours Among Conflict-Affected Men who Misuse Alcohol in Ukraine: A Qualitative Study

    Open Access•Sergiy Bogdanov, Catharina Van Der Boor et al.•ARTICLE•SSM - Mental Health•2026

    Since 2014, conflict and violence in Ukraine, including the Russian annexation of Crimea and the ongoing war, have led to significant internal displacement, affecting millions of people. This humanitarian crisis has exacerbated psychological distress, with high rates of post-traumatic stress disorder, depression, anxiety, and suicide among internally displaced persons, military veterans, and civilians. Alcohol misuse has emerged as a prevalent ma…

  • Pathways of service user participation in mental health decision-making in Lebanon

    Open Access•Thurayya Zreik, Sandy Chaar et al.•ARTICLE•SSM - Mental Health•2025

    Inclusive participation of mental health service users is critical for effective decision-making and governance, yet remains underexplored in humanitarian settings. Lebanon, facing protracted crises and hosting over 1.5 million Syrian refugees, provides a unique case to examine pathways of service user participation in mental health decision-making. This qualitative study investigates barriers, facilitators, and power dynamics influencing service…

  • Explanatory models and coping with alcohol misuse among conflict-affected men in Ukraine

    Open Access•Sergiy Bogdanov, Kateryna Ko et al.•ARTICLE•SSM - Mental Health•2025

    Affecting nearly 10% of men globally, alcohol use disorders (AUDs) represent a significant public health burden. Existing work, including from Ukraine, suggests that living in conflict settings may exacerbate the risk of AUDs. However, there is a dearth of evidence regarding alcohol misuse, as well as knowledge of factors associated with alcohol misuse patterns, in conflict settings. The aim of this qualitative study was to investigate explanator…

  • Salience and perceptions of epidemic-prone diseases in two communities: Findings from freelisting interviews in Khartoum State, Sudan

    Open Access•Nada Abdelmagid, Omama Abdalla et al.•ARTICLE•PLOS Global Public Health•2025

    The frequency and severity of disease outbreaks disproportionately impacts settings affected by conflict or with weak health systems. Sudan, facing frequent and recurrent epidemics, struggles with limited resources. Understanding local perceptions of epidemic-prone diseases is vital for designing effective epidemic responses. This study describes the salience and perceptions of epidemic-prone diseases in two urban Sudanese communities. We conduct…

  • Exploring Sexual Violence Prevention Within Latine Communities: Integration of Familismo, Community, and Shifting Gender Norms

    Open Access•Brooke A De Heer, Raven B Muñoz et al.•ARTICLE•Violence Against Women•2025•References: 8

    Most sexual violence prevention programs on college campuses apply a monolithic approach to addressing sexual violence among highly varied student populations. The current study explores ways prevention programs can be tailored to the unique needs of marginalized communities, namely the Latine community. Utilizing a Chicana feminist framework and focus group methodology, findings suggest that sexual violence prevention programs would benefit from…

  • A qualitative process evaluation of group problem management plus for distressed Syrian refugees in Türkiye

    Open Access•Ayşenur Coşkun-Toker, Zeynep İlkkurşun et al.•ARTICLE•Cambridge Prisms Global Mental…•2025•References: 29

    Syrian refugees in Türkiye show a high prevalence of mental health problems but encounter barriers to accessing mental health services. Group Problem Management Plus (gPM+), developed by the World Health Organization, is a low-intensity psychological intervention delivered by nonspecialist facilitators. This qualitative process evaluation explores the acceptability, feasibility and perceived effectiveness of gPM+ for Syrian refugees resettled in …

    Open Access•Abhijit Nadkarni, Catharina Van Der Boor et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Migration and Health•2025•References: 4

    If proven to be effective, the acceptability and feasibility of CHANGE makes it a potentially scalable intervention in low resource settings with shortage of specialist healthcare professionals. The intervention may have the potential to be integrated with other programmes of care that can address additional adversities that the population may face in the setting

  • Developing an explanatory model of alcohol misuse among South Sudanese refugees in northern Uganda: A qualitative study

    Open Access•Lene Søndergaard Andersen, Catharina Van Der Boor et al.•ARTICLE•SSM - Mental Health•2024

    Alcohol misuse is a significant health problem among forcibly displaced populations including male South Sudanese refugees in northern Uganda, yet interventions are sorely lacking. Developing an explanatory model of alcohol misuse in this population is the first step to designing appropriate and effective interventions. The aim of the current study was to examine alcohol misuse in this setting and to conceptualize an explanatory model of alcohol …

  • Barriers and enablers to a coordinated MHPSS response in Lebanon: A case study of the MHPSS Taskforce

    Open Access•Rozane El Masri, Thurayya Zreik et al.•ARTICLE•SSM - Mental Health•2024

    During humanitarian crises, under-resourced and overstretched health systems may not be able to fully meet mental health and psychosocial support (MHPSS) needs of affected populations, including refugees, internally displaced persons and host communities. Health system governance is vital to humanitarian health response, but there has been little research on this, particularly for MHPSS. We present a case study of a national coordination mechanis…

  • Power dynamics and participation within humanitarian coordination groups: A case study of the MHPSS Taskforce in Lebanon

    Open Access•Michelle Lokot, Francisco Javier González de Dios et al.•ARTICLE•PLOS Global Public Health•2024

    The humanitarian sector has often been criticised for its hierarchical power dynamics. Such dynamics often centre the priorities of ‘international’ actors, thereby marginalising the knowledge and expertise of those closest to the setting and play out in various fora, including coordination mechanisms. While guidance emphasises the importance of supporting local systems and government structures rather than creating parallel humanitarian structure…

  • Barriers, facilitators and proposed solutions to equitable mental health financing and service delivery for the Lebanese populations and displaced Syrians in Lebanon: Findings from a qualitative study

    Open Access•Rozane El Masri, Sandy Chaar et al.•ARTICLE•PLOS Global Public Health•2024

    Forcibly displaced populations experience an increased burden of mental illness. Scaling up mental health (MH) services places new resource demands on health systems in crises-affected settings and raises questions about how to provide equitable MH services for refugee and host populations. Our study investigates barriers, facilitators, and proposed solutions to MH financing and access for Lebanese populations and Syrian refugees in Lebanon, a pr…

  • Using Theory of Change to Plan for the Implementation of a Psychological Intervention Addressing Alcohol Use Disorder and Psychological Distress in Uganda

    Open Access•Catharina Van Der Boor, Lene Søndergaard Andersen et al.•ARTICLE•Cambridge Prisms Global Mental…•2024

    In conflict-affected settings, prevalence of alcohol use disorders (AUDs) can be high. However, limited practical information exists on AUD management in low-income settings. Using a theory of change (ToC) approach, we aimed to identify pathways influencing the implementation and maintenance of a new transdiagnostic psychological intervention ("CHANGE"), targeting both psychological distress and AUDs in humanitarian settings. Three half-day works…

    Open Access•Aniek Woodward, Sebastian Burchert et al.•ARTICLE•SSM - Mental Health•2023

    E-mental health interventions may offer innovative means to increase access to psychological support and improve the mental health of refugees. However, there is limited knowledge about how these innovations can be scaled up and integrated sustainably into routine services. This study examined the scalability of a digital psychological intervention called Step-by-Step (SbS) for refugees in Egypt, Germany, and Sweden. We conducted semi-structured …

  • A qualitative study on the impacts of Covid-19 on the delivery of randomised controlled trials evaluating lay-delivered psychological interventions in five countries

    Open Access•Alessandro Massazza, Bayard Roberts et al.•ARTICLE•SSM - Mental Health•2023

    COVID-19 is having substantial impacts on research conduct, including clinical trials. However, there is limited research investigating the impact of the pandemic on the conduct of clinical trials and barriers to the delivery of interventions. The current study contributes to filling this gap by investigating the impacts of COVID-19 and related mitigation strategies in the context of five randomised controlled trials (RCTs) of lay-delivered psych…

  • Patient experiences of diabetes and hypertension care during an evolving humanitarian crisis in Lebanon: A qualitative study

    Open Access•Ruth Willis, Chaza Akik et al.•ARTICLE•PLOS Global Public Health•2023

    Humanitarian health care models increasingly incorporate care for non-communicable diseases (NCDs). Current research evidence focuses on burden of disease, service provision and access to care, and less is known about patient’s experience of the continuum of care in humanitarian settings. To address this gap, this study explored experiences of displaced Syrian and vulnerable Lebanese patients receiving care for hypertension and/or diabetes at fou…

  • Scaling up task-sharing psychological interventions for refugees in Jordan: A qualitative study on the potential barriers and facilitators

    Open Access•Aniek Woodward, Egbert Sondorp et al.•ARTICLE•Health Policy and Planning•2023

    Training nonspecialists in providing evidence-based psychological interventions (i.e. task-sharing) can effectively increase community access to psychological support. However, task-sharing interventions for this purpose are rarely used at scale. The aim of this study was to examine the factors influencing the potential for scaling up (i.e. scalability) of a task-sharing psychological intervention called Problem Management Plus (PM+) for Syrian r…

  • Developing an integrated model of care for vulnerable populations living with non-communicable diseases in Lebanon: An online theory of change workshop

    Open Access•Claudia Truppa, Éimhín Ansbro et al.•ARTICLE•Conflict and Health•2023

    ToC is a useful tool to deconstruct the complexity of integrating NCD services. We highlight that integrated care rests on multidisciplinary and patient-centred approaches, which depend on a well-trained and resourced team, strong leadership, and adequate information systems. This paper provides the first theory-driven road map of implementation pathways, to help support the integration of NCD care for crises-affected populations in Lebanon and g…

  • “Nothing about us, without us”? A qualitative study of service user involvement in the development of lay-delivered psychological interventions in contexts affected by humanitarian crises

    Open Access•Emily Owen, Alessandro Massazza et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Migration and Health•2022

    Service user involvement was viewed as vital in the development of lay delivered psychological interventions, but remains predominantly tokenistic, partly due to limited guidance, time, and finances. Guidelines could support more meaningful and ethical service user involvement in lay-delivered psychological interventions in areas affected by humanitarian crises

  • Scalability of a task-sharing psychological intervention for refugees: A qualitative study in the Netherlands

    Open Access•Aniek Woodward, Anne M de Graaff et al.•ARTICLE•SSM - Mental Health•2022

    Mental health systems across the world struggle to meet the needs of present and future populations. People affected by war and forced displacement, such as refugees, have especially high unmet psychological needs. Shifting tasks from mental health specialists to less specialised providers is increasingly opted as an innovative solution to overcome the mental health care gap. Yet little is known about how task-sharing interventions for refugees c…

    BACKGROUND: Previous studies suggest that the fear of crime is associated with worse mental health, with social capital potentially having a mediating influence. However, no studies could be identified on this issue in countries of the former Soviet Union, despite them experiencing increasing rates of crime and profound social change. The aim of this study is to explore the relationship between concern about crime and levels of psychological dist…
