Experiences, needs and priorities of family caregivers of people with severe mental health conditions in low- and middle-income countries
Family caregivers in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) provide the lion’s share of care for their relatives with severe mental health conditions amid vast treatment gaps. Yet, their lived experiences are not adequately explored. This systematic review synthesizes evidence on the lived experiences, priorities and needs of these caregivers across diverse LMIC settings. We analyzed 76 articles identified across nine databases. Data were synth…
Facilitators and barriers to participation and scale-up of a non-specialist delivered psychological intervention for adolescents in low-resourced settings
Globally, the number of refugees and displaced individuals has surpassed 100 million for the first time in history. Refugees are more likely than non-refugee populations to experience psychological distress and develop mental disorders. Early Adolescent Skills for Emotion (EASE), developed by the World Health Organization, is a potentially scalable task-sharing intervention targeting symptoms of internalizing disorders such as depression and anxi…
Perspectives on conducting “sex-normalising” intersex surgeries conducted in infancy
Children with intersex variations continue to be subject to elective, irreversible, “sex-normalising” surgical interventions, despite multiple human rights and legislative bodies calling for their prohibition. Our systematic review aims to understand how medical literature reports rationales for “sex-normalising” surgical interventions conducted in childhood, and how they are contextualised within the medical and social controversy surrounding su…
Cultural adaptation of a scalable psychological intervention for Burundian refugee adolescents in Tanzania
The approach to adaptation of a psychological intervention suggested both minor and major required changes. Adaptations based on the findings of this study are anticipated to enhance relevance and acceptability of the EASE intervention and its delivery for camp-residing Burundian refugees in Tanzania
How Transgender Adolescents Experience Expressing Their Gender Identity Around New People
The literature suggests gender expression to be a key experience of transgender young people that may impact upon the development of their gender identity and psychological well-being. The present study aimed to explore participants’ experiences of expressing their gender identity around others, with a focus on interactions with new people (with whom they do not have an existing relationship). Semi-structured interviews were conducted with eight …
The Cultural and Contextual Adaptation Process of an Intervention to Reduce Psychological Distress in Young Adolescents Living in Lebanon
Armed conflict leads to increased risk of emotional distress among children and adolescents, and increased exposure to significant daily stressors such as poverty and community and family violence. Unfortunately, these increased risks usually occur in the context of largely unavailable mental health services. There is growing empirical support that evidence-based treatment techniques can be adapted and delivered by non-specialists with high fidel…
