Exploring the application of the capability approach to the health and well-being of Indigenous Peoples
This scoping review synthesizes existing literature on the application of the capability approach (CA) to address the health and well-being of Indigenous Peoples across the globe. Academic and grey literature searches led to the identification of 20 papers for inclusion in the review. Findings reveal a growing interest in applying the CA to Indigenous health and well-being research, highlighting its potential to guide interventions and policies. …
Adapting the comprehensive assessment of acceptance and commitment therapy processes (CompACT) questionnaire for contextual relevance in Uganda
The global utility of acceptance and commitment therapy highlights the need for adapting measures that can effectively capture the richness of psychological flexibility. One such instrument is the Comprehensive Assessment of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy Processes (CompACT). We translated the CompACT into Luganda and adapted it for use in Uganda. The original CompACT was translated into the Luganda language and reviewed through a series of ev…
Culturally adapting a mindfulness and acceptance-based intervention to support the mental health of adolescents on antiretroviral therapy in Uganda
The dual burden of living with HIV and negotiating life stage changes has been identified as a contributing factor to lapsed adherence among adolescents with HIV in sub-Saharan Africa. While psychosocial support can promote medication adherence, most interventions in use with adolescents were originally developed for the general population creating a gap in appropriate support. Life-stage-appropriate, evidence-based psychosocial support intervent…
Risk factors for mental disorder development in asylum seekers and refugees resettled in Western Europe and Turkey
Background: In asylum seekers and refugees, the frequency of mental disorders, such as depression, anxiety and post-traumatic stress disorder, is higher than the general population, but there is a lack of data on risk factors for the development of mental disorders in this population. Aim: This study investigated the risk factors for mental disorder development in a large group of asylum seekers and refugees resettled in high- and middle-income s…
Acceptability of an adapted mindfulness and acceptance-based intervention to support adolescents with HIV
While the adaptation of evidence-based psychosocial support tailors the intervention components to the targeted context, minimizing the associated costs of developing new interventions for low-income contexts, the acceptability of such adapted interventions is important for augmenting successful implementation and sustainability. Given that psychosocial support to persons living with HIV is mostly rendered by healthcare providers, their acceptanc…
A longitudinal study of capability-based quality of life and mental health in the first 5-months of lockdown restrictions in the UK
The study findings suggest that the capability-limiting impact of public health emergencies and related lockdown restrictions are important for understanding peoples' levels of depression and anxiety. The implications that the findings have for the provision of support in the context of public health emergencies and associated restrictions are discussed
Covid-19 and its prevention in internally displaced person (IDP) camps in Somalia
COVID-19 and associated restrictions have negatively impacted Somalia's internally displaced population. Livelihood and mental health support is urgently needed in the recovery phase of the pandemic and should be factored into future pandemic planning
Impacts of the Covid-19 lockdown and relevant vulnerabilities on capability well-being, mental health and social support
Our study is the first to assess the capability limiting aspects of lockdown and relevant vulnerabilities alongside their impacts on mental health and social support. The negative capability well-being, mental health and social support impacts of the Covid-19 lockdown were strongest for people with a history of mental health treatment. Future public health policies concerning lockdowns should pay special attention to improve social support levels…

Mental wellbeing in the Anthropocene
There is growing recognition that "human development" frameworks, such as the Capabilities Approach (CA) with its emphasis on the promotion of justice, offer promise for guiding efforts aimed at enhancing mental wellbeing. This article explores challenges that might arise when there is a need to arbitrate among the competing demands of different parties in their efforts to enhance capabilities. Particular tensions can arise when the efforts of pa…
The development of the ‘Forms of Responding to Self-Critical Thoughts Scale’ (FoReST)
Situating Global Mental Health
This introductory chapter of The Palgrave Handbook of Sociocultural Perspectives on Global Mental Health highlights how understanding about aberrant behaviours has varied across time, geography and culture. Important developments that contributed to the emergence of Global Mental Health are discussed. Rather than a monolithic enterprise, Global Mental Health is presented as a heterogeneous range of practice- and research-based activities concerne…
The Palgrave Handbook of Sociocultural Perspectives on Global Mental Health
This handbook incisively explores challenges and opportunities that exist in efforts aimed at addressing inequities in mental health provision across the globe. Drawing on various disciplines across the humanities, psychology, and social sciences it charts the emergence of Global Mental Health as a field of study. It critically reflects on efforts and interventions being made to globalize mental health policies, and discusses key themes relevant …
Contextual Behavioral Science and Global Mental Health
The Capabilities Approach
Concerted efforts have been made in recent years to achieve equity and equality in mental health for all people across the globe. This has led to the emergence of Global Mental Health as an area of study and practice. The momentum that this has created has contributed to the development, implementation and evaluation of services for priority mental disorders in many low- and middle-income countries.This paper discusses two related issues that may…
