Following the youth patient journey in the mental health help-seeking process in Bogotá, Colombia
BACKGROUND: Understanding help-seeking behaviors of young people with mental health concerns is crucial for developing responsive mental health services and policies. This study aimed to explore the help-seeking journeys of Colombian youth, the formal and informal services they reached out to when faced with psychological distress and the order in which these services were consulted. Additionally, it examined the differences between pathways of a…
Participatory systems modelling to improve mental health systems in Bogotá, Colombia
BACKGROUND: Participatory Systems Modelling (PSM) offers an opportunity to deliver robust, contextually relevant, and suitable models for informing strategic responses to complex public health challenges. For mental health care systems, PSM benefits from multi-sectoral participants' social and emotional capital for building consensus on priorities and policy objectives that can influence decision-making. METHODS: In Bogotá, Colombia, we evaluated…
Can participatory processes lead to changes in the configuration of local mental health networks? A social network analysis
Systems modeling offers a valuable tool to support strategic decision-making for complex problems because it considers the causal inter-relationships that drive population health outcomes. This tool can be used to simulate policies and initiatives to determine which combinations are likely to deliver the greatest impacts and returns on investment. Systems modeling benefits from participatory approaches where a multidisciplinary stakeholder group …

Systems modelling and simulation, particularly utilizing participatory approaches, is offering promise in supporting evidence-informed decision making with limited resources by testing alternative strategies in safe virtual environments before implementing them in the real world. However, improved evaluation effor…
Incorporating operational research in programmes funded by the Global Fund to Fight Aids, Tuberculosis and Malaria in four sub-Saharan African countries
BACKGROUND: The current study builds upon a previous situation analysis of the extent to which grants from the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria (Global Fund) are being utilized to support operational research and implementation research (OR/IR) activities in recipient countries. The objective of this follow-up study was to identify approaches and pathways to implement an OR component into grants to the Global Fund, in four sub-…
Is the calorie concept a real solution to the obesity epidemic
BACKGROUND: The obesity epidemic has been growing steadily across the whole world, and so far not a single country has been able to reverse it. The cause of obesity is stated by the World Health Organization as an energy imbalance between calories consumed and calories expended. However, growing evidence suggests that the calorie imbalance concept may not be sufficient to manage and reverse the obesity epidemic. OBJECTIVE: To discuss the use of t…
