Adaptation of a PTSD intervention for use in primary care in a low-income country
Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) symptoms amongst people with serious mental illness (SMI) are prevalent in Ethiopia and throughout the world, yet treatment is scarce, particularly in low-resource settings with few mental health providers.

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

As of 2018, there were only two psychiatrists in Liberia. Methods: This paper aims to offer a framework for developing postgradu…

Learning about English learners
Shortcomings in schools’ efforts to serve English learners (ELs) are often both a function of the continuing scarcity of teacher education and the ability of schools to implement high-quality professional development (PD) to successfully prepare effective teachers for this marginalized student population. Scant literature addresses the processes for initiating EL-focused PD, as well as the effectiveness of PD at the school-wide level. In this stu…

Best Practices in Global Mental Health
Recommendations for best practice are useful in guiding the ethical and effective practice of psychology. Global mental health (GMH), which works to improve mental health treatment and access on a worldwide scale, is a growing field with many opportunities for psychologists, though such best practice recommendations have not been articulated. Using a grounded theory approach, this qualitative study recruited and interviewed psychologists identifi…
