Acceptability and perceived impact of a mental health and disability programme in Ghana
This study underscores the impact of user-led, multi-sectoral approaches in reducing stigma, scaling services, and empowering people with disabilities in resource-limited settings, while addressing challenges and strategies for disability-inclusive programming
Inverting the deficit model in global mental health
Global mental health [GMH] scholarship and practice has typically focused on the unmet needs and barriers to mental health in communities, developing biomedical and psychosocial interventions for integration into formal health care platforms in response. In this article, we analyse four diverse settings to disrupt the emphasises on health system weaknesses, treatment gaps and barriers which can perpetuate harmful hierarchies and colonial and medi…
Development and Implementation of Mental Healthcare Plans in Three Districts in Ghana
In Ghana, a severe mental healthcare gap of 95-98% exists due to limited services. Ghana Somubi Dwumadie set out to address this by developing district mental healthcare plans (DMHPs) in three demonstration districts. Following the Programme for Improving Mental Healthcare model, district mental health operations teams were formed and used Theory of Change (ToC) to develop DMHPs. Key elements included training non-specialist health workers and en…
Mental health and disability research priorities and capacity needs in Ghana
BACKGROUND: Identification of national research agendas for mental health and disability can be supported by well-designed research priority-setting studies. Few low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) have undertaken such studies. OBJECTIVE: To identify mental health and disability research priorities in Ghana. METHODS: A mixed methods study comprising a rapid review, research priority ranking survey, and research capacity needs assessment surv…
A cluster randomised trial of cookstove interventions to improve infant health in Ghana
Introduction Household air pollution from solid fuel combustion for cooking and heating is a leading cause of childhood morbidity and mortality worldwide. We hypothesised that clean cooking interventions delivered during pregnancy would improve child health. Methods We conducted a cluster randomised trial in rural Ghana to test whether providing pregnant women liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) cookstoves or improved biomass cookstoves would reduce pe…
Time Use Implication of Clean Cookstoves in Rural Settings in Ghana
Whilst the health benefit of using clean cookstoves and fuels is widely known, there is limited information on the non-health benefit of these stoves, especially in low-middle-income countries. This paper reports the time use implications of using clean cookstoves and fuels by comparing liquified petroleum gas (LPG), an improved biomass cookstove (BioLite), and traditional biomass cookstoves (three-stone fires) in Ghana. Using survey-based time d…
Determining the Enablers and Barriers for the Adoption of Clean Cookstoves in the Middle Belt of Ghana—A Qualitative Study
Despite its benefits and espousal in developed counties, the adoption of clean cookstoves is reportedly low in less developed countries, especially in Sub-Saharan Africa. This qualitative study aimed at exploring and documenting the enablers and barriers for adoption of clean cookstove in the middle belt of Ghana. The findings showed convenience of clean cookstove use, reduced firewood usage, less smoke emission and associated health problems res…
Prenatal Household Air Pollution Alters Cord Blood Mononuclear Cell Mitochondrial DNA Copy Number
Increased prenatal HAP exposure reduces CBMC mtDNAcn, suggesting cumulative prenatal oxidative stress injury. An LPG stove intervention may reverse this effect. Boys appear most susceptible
Urinary Concentrations of Insecticide and Herbicide Metabolites among Pregnant Women in Rural Ghana
Larger studies are necessary to more fully explore predictors of exposure in this population
The experience of caregivers of people living with serious mental disorders
BACKGROUND: Families and friends who give care to people with mental disorders (MDs) are affected in a variety of ways and degrees. The interplay of caregiving consequences: poverty, discrimination and stigma, lack of support from others, diminished social relationships, depression, emotional trauma, and poor or interrupted sleep are associated caregiver burden. OBJECTIVE: The burden of care on caregivers of people living with MDs was assessed in…
‘Whether you like it or not people with mental problems are going to go to them’
Limited research has been conducted to explore the factors that support or obstruct collaboration between traditional healers and public sector mental health services. The first aim of this study was to explore the reasons underpinning the widespread appeal of traditional/faith healers in Ghana. This formed a backdrop for the second objective, to identify what barriers or enabling factors may exist for forming bi-sectoral partnerships. Eighty-one…
