Restraint and seclusion practices in psychiatric inpatient hospitalization in Tanzania
Restraint and seclusion (R/S) are used in psychiatric settings to manage aggression and agitation. Because these practices can cause psychological harm, physical injury and death, guidelines designate them as last-resort measures, yet their use frequently extends beyond psychiatric emergencies. In this study, we explored how R/S are understood, experienced and enacted within psychiatric care in Tanzania, focusing on their application, perceived i…

The role of faith in suicide prevention among people living with HIV
Religious leaders are important actors on the pathway to care for many people experiencing mental distress, particularly in low-resource settings. There is a need for collaboration with religious leaders in suicide risk recognition and interventions. From May-June, 2024, we conducted qualitative interviews with 14 religious leaders and eight mental health workers in Kilimanjaro, Tanzania to explore the potential to integrate aspects of faith into…
From research to practice
Despite the life-saving potential of mental health interventions, their scalability and integration within healthcare systems present significant challenges, particularly in low-resource global settings. This study investigated scaling IDEAS for Hope, a telehealth counseling intervention designed to reduce suicide risk and improve HIV care engagement among people living with HIV in Kilimanjaro, Tanzania, and identified actionable implementation s…
Development of a brief telehealth-delivered counseling intervention to reduce suicide risk and improve HIV care engagement in Kilimanjaro, Tanzania
Feasibility outcomes from the pilot implementation of a virtual QualityRights training intervention for the East African young psychiatrists' and trainees’ association
Background Human rights violations against individuals with serious mental illness remain widespread globally due to low awareness and inadequate legal protections. Knowledge and training gaps related to these violations persist in mental healthcare and training. The World Health Organization’s QualityRights e-training program was developed to address these issues by promoting human rights-based, recovery-oriented mental health services. In 2023,…
Challenges and opportunities for improving mental health care and preventing suicide among people living with HIV
People living with HIV (PLWH) experience unique stressors that contribute to emotional distress, and PLWH are more than twice as likely to die by suicide when compared to the general population. In countries like Tanzania, there is a relatively high burden of HIV but few resources to support mental health needs. To gain a better understanding of mental health challenges experienced by PLWH in northern Tanzania and identify opportunities for inter…
The landscape and level of alcohol policy enforcement in Tanzania
Harmful use of alcohol causes more deaths in Sub-Saharan Africa than in any other region. In Tanzania, where alcohol use disorders rates are twice the overall African average, harmful alcohol consumption is a public health concern. Given the lack of a contemporary overview of the alcohol policy landscape, we conducted a mixed-methods review of key alcohol-related policies, implementers, and initiatives in Tanzania. We conducted a desk-based revie…
Validation of a culturally sensitive, Swahili-translated instrument to assess suicide risk among adults living with HIV in Tanzania
In Tanzania, there are high rates of suicidal thoughts and behavior among people living with HIV (PLWH), yet few instruments exist for effective screening and referral. To address this gap, we developed and validated Swahili translations of the Columbia Suicide Severity Rating Scale (C-SSRS) Screen Version and two accompanying scales assessing self-efficacy to avoid suicidal action and reasons for living. We administered a structured survey to 80…
