Influence of Maternal Traumatic Experiences on Their Children’s Mental Health Symptoms in Afghanistan
BACKGROUND: Caregivers play an essential role in shaping their child's mental health outcomes. AIMS: This paper aimed to characterize the association between caregiver and child mental health among a highly traumatized population. METHODS: A total of 813 pairs of children and their female caregiver (mostly mother) were included. The SDQ parent version measured child mental health problems, which were classified in four categories: internal only, …
Improving psychosocial well-being and parenting practices among refugees in Uganda
Caregivers play a critical role in mediating the impacts of forced displacement on children; however, humanitarian programming remains hampered by a lack of evidence-based programming. We present findings from an evaluation of a group-based curriculum delivered over the course of 12 sessions, journey of life (JoL). A waitlist-control quasi-experimental design was implemented in the Kiryandongo refugee settlement (intervention n = 631, control n =…
Social connections related to health and well-being needs identified by children and adolescents affected by displacement in Lebanon
Ensuring equity in mental health and psychosocial support during the Covid-19 pandemic and beyond
Populations affected by armed conflict and other humanitarian crises are at elevated risk for mental health problems. While the COVID-19 pandemic has had broadly deleterious effects on livelihoods, economic well-being, and population health worldwide, vulnerable groups have been disproportionately impacted by the pandemic. Providing mental health and psychosocial support (MHPSS) services during these times to vulnerable groups, especially in low-…
In-Person Social Interactions and Anxiety During the Covid-19 Pandemic
Although the anxiety symptoms of women and men were similarly affected by declines in in-person social interaction, the modifying influence of household size is unique to women, likely due to gender-specific social roles. For women, living in larger households may mean greater caregiving burden, exacerbating the detrimental association between physical distancing and anxiety. On the other hand, both women and men may have used virtual means to co…
Alcohol use and internal migration in Nepal
BACKGROUND: Alcohol use is a leading cause of disease. Although low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) have lower per capita alcohol consumption, the alcohol-attributable disease burden is high in these settings with consumption increasing. LMICs are also experiencing unprecedented levels of internal migration, potentially increasing mental stress, changing social restrictions on drinking, and increasing alcohol availability. We assessed the re…
Protocol for a caregiver psychosocial support intervention for populations affected by displacement in Uganda
Clinical Trials NCT04817098 (Registered: 3/24/21)
The Child PTSD Symptom Scale
Latent class analysis of violence against adolescents and psychosocial outcomes in refugee settings in Uganda and Rwanda
The present results support the existing evidence-base concerning the association between violence and adverse mental health outcomes, while identifying differences in patterns and associations between refugee youth in two different contexts
Mapping the key issues shaping the landscape of global public health
A survey of global health experts attending an invited meeting provided a means to map key issues perceived to be shaping emerging global public health agendas. Eighty-five participants proposed three major issues likely to have the most significant impact on the field of global health in the coming years. Six raters grouped the resultant items, with multi-dimensional scaling (MDS) analysis producing a composite two-dimensional map depicting the …
