    Olabisi Oladipo, Olabisi E Oladipo et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of Mental…2026

    The WHO’s Mental Health Gap Action Programme (mhGAP) offers an evidence-based framework to integrate mental health into primary health care (PHC), especially in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). In Lagos State, Nigeria, the mhGAP-Intervention Guide (mhGAP-IG) was delivered to over 850 PHC workers across 57 facilities through the Mental Health in Primary Care (MeHPriC) initiative.

    Open AccessAbiodun Adewuya, Abiodun O Adewuya et al.ARTICLEBMC Psychology2026

    Adolescent mental health disorders constitute a substantial public health concern in Nigeria, yet school-based protective factors remain understudied in sub-Saharan African contexts. This study examined cumulative associations between school protective factors and clinically diagnosed mental health outcomes, tested buffering effects against family adversity, and explored gender-differentiated pathways among Nigerian adolescents. A school-based cr…

  • Government-led scale-up of task-shifted mental health services in Lagos State, Nigeria

    Open AccessAbiodun Adewuya, Abiodun O Adewuya et al.ARTICLEHealth Policy and Planning2026References: 21

    Mental health conditions remain a leading contributor to global disability; however, treatment coverage in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) stays below 20%; in Nigeria, services are underfunded and largely excluded from primary health care (PHC). This study documents the institutional processes through which the Transition-to-Scale phase of the Mental Health in Primary Care (MeHPriC) initiative scaled up task-shifted mental health service…

  • Exploring contextual barriers and facilitators to sustaining mental health integration in primary care

    Open AccessAbiodun Adewuya, Abiodun O Adewuya et al.ARTICLEJournal of Global Health2025

    Background: Mental health interventions in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) face significant sustainability challenges, often leading to 'programme drift' (protocol deviation ) and 'voltage drop' (reduced effectiveness). While implementation science frameworks emphasise fidelity, they often fail to explain how frontline providers in resource-constrained settings maintain services. Here, we investigate how adaptive mechanisms function as l…
