Eighty percent of the world’s youth live in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), yet access to trauma-focused mental health care in these settings remains limited despite a high burden of mental health disorders and trauma exposure among youth.

A qualitative study of mental health problems among children living in New Delhi slums
Open AccessPrerna Martins, E E Haroz et al.ARTICLETranscultural Psychiatric…2024Referências: 65
Children living in urban slums in India are exposed to chronic stressors that increase their risk of developing mental disorders, but they remain a neglected group. Effective mental health interventions are needed; however, it is necessary to understand how mental health symptoms and needs are perceived and prioritized locally to tailor interventions for this population. We used an existing rapid ethnographic assessment approach to identify menta…
Higher rates of mental health screening of adolescents recorded after provider training using simulated patients in a Kenyan HIV clinic
Open AccessTessa Concepcion, Peter Mogere et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Public Health2023
Background Kenyan adolescent girls and young women (AGYW) experience a dual burden of HIV and common mental disorders (CMD). HIV clinics are a key entry point for AGYW in need of integrated CMD and HIV care; however, rates of screening and referral for CMDs are low. Our objective was to test an evidence-based provider training strategy, simulated patient encounters (SPEs), on CMD service delivery for AGYW in a Kenyan HIV clinic. Methods This pilo…
Competency of primary care providers to assess and manage suicide risk in Nepal
Open AccessMegan Ramaiya, Connor McCabe et al.ARTICLESSM - Mental Health2023
Screening for suicide risk in primary care settings is a recommended strategy worldwide for suicide prevention. However, few studies examine which clinical behaviors on the part of primary care providers are most predictive of competency in suicide risk assessment and management. The current study used ratings on the Enhancing Assessment of Common Therapeutic Factors (ENACT) tool during observations of provider-patient role plays (N = 91) to unde…

Open AccessNoah S Triplett, Anne Mbwayo et al.ARTICLECambridge Prisms Global Mental…2023
Opportunities exist to leverage mobile phones to replace or supplement in-person supervision of lay counselors. However, contextual variables, such as network connectivity and provider preferences, must be considered. Using an iterative and mixed methods approach, we co-developed implementation guidelines to support the implementation of mobile phone supervision with lay counselors and supervisors delivering a culturally adapted trauma-focused co…

Lay Counselor Perspectives of Providing a Child-Focused Mental Health Intervention for Children
Open AccessShannon Dorsey, Rosemary D Meza et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Psychiatry2019
The global mental health treatment gap has increasingly been addressed using task-shifting; however, very little research has focused on lay counselors' perspectives on the acceptability, feasibility, and appropriateness of mental health interventions in specific government-supported sectors that might scale up and sustain mental health care for children and adolescents. In western Kenya, these sectors include Education and Health. Data come from…

BACKGROUND: Recent global mental health research suggests that mental health interventions can be adapted for use across cultures and in low resource environments.

Family Communication About Sex
Kim S Miller, Beth A Kotchick et al.ARTICLEFamily Planning Perspectives1998
CONTEXT: Communication between parents and adolescents about sex, particularly in minority families, has been understudied; more information is needed both on which sex-related topics are discussed and on how their content is transmitted. METHODS: Parent-adolescent communication about 10 sex-related topics was examined in a sample of 907 Hispanic and black 14-16-year-olds. Chi-square analyses were performed to test for significant differences acr…
