Preliminary Psychometric Evaluation of the Vancouver Index of Acculturation ( via ) in a Uk ‐based East‐asian Sample
This study aimed to evaluate the psychometric properties and acceptability of the Vancouver Index of Acculturation (VIA) in a sample of UK‐based East‐Asian adults. Although widely used in cross‐cultural research, relatively few studies have assessed the factor structure, validity, and user acceptability of the VIA in non‐North American samples. A total of 236 East‐Asian participants (mean age = 26.8, 47.06% female) completed the 20‐item VIA and d…
A preliminary validation of the Multi-ethnic Acculturation Scale (MAS) for first-generation Asian migrants in Scotland
Acculturation is a complex process involving cognitive, behavioural, and emotional adaptations as people adjust to a new cultural environment. This study evaluated the validity and reliability of the Multi-Ethnic Acculturation Scale (MAS) among first-generation migrants in Scotland. Migrants from 13 Asian countries completed the English-language MAS, which measures acculturation across three domains: cognitive, behavioural, and physical. Confirma…
The Relationship Between Food Insecurity and Mental Health Among Syrians and Syrian Refugees Working in Agriculture During Covid-19
The COVID-19 pandemic has disproportionately impacted vulnerable populations, such as internally displaced Syrians and Syrian refugees (SSRs) in Middle Eastern host countries, through a syndemic interplay of health, social, and economic challenges. Movement restrictions disrupted their livelihoods resulting in increased food insecurity. A mixed-methods approach was used to address the research question: "What is the relationship between Food Inse…
Exploring ethical practice in NGOS on mental health research in Malawi
In recent years, an increasing trend in mental health research has been to collaborate with non-governmental organizations [NGOs] and their constituents. However, ethical difficulties can arise as a result of such partnerships. Understanding the ethics-related practices of NGOs engaged in mental health research is therefore critical. This study addressed these questions in a Malawian context. The goal of this study was to investigate NGO’s ethica…
Exploring Professional and Carer Stakeholder Conceptualizations of Child and Adolescent Mental Health in Malawi Using a Contextual Co-Design Methodology
In Malawi, there is a high prevalence of mental disorders in children and adolescents. However, access to specialized care is scarce due to a lack of public policies, resources, and cultural factors. In this context, the aim of this research is to understand how child and adolescent mental health is conceptualized by key stakeholders in Malawi. The participants were 117 stakeholders (59 female and 58 male) involved with children's mental health f…

La situation des réfugiés syriens employés dans l'agriculture au Moyen‐Orient au début de la pandémie de Covid‐19 sous l'angle du travail et de la sécurité alimentaire
Les auteurs utilisent des données ethnographiques issues de deux enquêtes auprès de réfugiés syriens employés dans l'agriculture au Moyen‐Orient (SyrianFoodFutures et From the FIELD) pour décrire les premiers effets de la pandémie sur cette population particulière. Ils montrent que les restrictions de déplacement et la perturbation des chaînes d'approvisionnement ont compromis l'activité et la sécurité alimentaire de ces migrants, en rappelant ce…
Developing an Evidence-base to Guide Ethical Action in Global Challenges Research in Complex and Fragile Contexts
The 2030 United Nations Sustainable Development Goals have heightened awareness of the interconnectedness of our global future resulting in new research priorities and corresponding funding to address complex global challenges through partnership. This has generated the potential for powerful new solutions but also for ethical risks within and between disciplinary, geographic and cultural boundaries, in turn necessitating a greater emphasis on eq…
Ethics in global research
Global challenge-led research seeks to contribute to solution-generation for complex problems. Multicultural, multidisciplinary, and multisectoral teams must be capable of operating in highly demanding contexts. This brings with it a swathe of ethical conflicts that require quick and effective solutions that respect both international conventions and cultural diversity. The objective of this article is to describe the process of creating a toolki…
Neuropsychological assessment in preclinical and prodromal Alzheimer disease
A lzheimer disease (AD), the most prevalent form of dementia, refers to a syndrome in which cognitive ability declines to such a degree that functioning in daily and/or social activities is compromised. In 2015, there were approximately 47 million people living with dementia globally, a figure expected to rise to 131 million by 2050. By as soon as 2030, the worldwide prevalence of dementia is estimated to reach 75 million with the majority of cas…
Cross-cultural representations of dementia
An ageing global population will bring a significant increase in the prevalence of dementia, with the need for a collaborative international effort to combat this public health challenge being increasingly recognised. To be successful, this cooperation must be sensitive to the different cultural environments in which dementia is positioned, which shape the variety of clinical, political and social approaches to the condition worldwide. The aim of…
Tackling dementia globally
ementia is a costly neurodegenerative disease that affects 47 million people worldwide. This figure is predicted to rise to 75 million by 2030 and 132 million by 2050 Currently, the majority of people (approximately 63%) living with dementia are in low-and middle-income countries (LMICs) and due to their large rapidly ageing populations, this number is going to continue to grow. For example, the Global Health Epidemiology Reference Group (GHERG) …
