  • Help-Seeking Behaviours Among Conflict-Affected Men who Misuse Alcohol in Ukraine

    Open AccessSergiy Bogdanov, Catharina Van Der Boor et al.ARTICLESSM - Mental Health2026

    Since 2014, conflict and violence in Ukraine, including the Russian annexation of Crimea and the ongoing war, have led to significant internal displacement, affecting millions of people. This humanitarian crisis has exacerbated psychological distress, with high rates of post-traumatic stress disorder, depression, anxiety, and suicide among internally displaced persons, military veterans, and civilians. Alcohol misuse has emerged as a prevalent ma…

  • Depression and anxiety symptoms in internally migrated women and men after the German unification

    Open AccessDanielle Otten, C Kasinger et al.ARTICLEJournal of Migration and Health2026Referências: 3

    Subgroup analyses revealed group differences to depend on sex, but show negligible effect sizes, with internal migration only explaining less than 0.2 % of the variance for depression and anxiety symptoms. Internal migration alone is thus no substantial factor in explaining mental health differences. Future studies should use longitudinal data to determine temporal associations between internal migration and mental health

  • Explanatory models and coping with alcohol misuse among conflict-affected men in Ukraine

    Open AccessSergiy Bogdanov, Kateryna Ko et al.ARTICLESSM - Mental Health2025

    Affecting nearly 10% of men globally, alcohol use disorders (AUDs) represent a significant public health burden. Existing work, including from Ukraine, suggests that living in conflict settings may exacerbate the risk of AUDs. However, there is a dearth of evidence regarding alcohol misuse, as well as knowledge of factors associated with alcohol misuse patterns, in conflict settings. The aim of this qualitative study was to investigate explanator…

  • A qualitative process evaluation of group problem management plus for distressed Syrian refugees in Türkiye

    Open AccessAyşenur Coşkun-Toker, Zeynep İlkkurşun et al.ARTICLECambridge Prisms Global Mental…2025Referências: 29

    Syrian refugees in Türkiye show a high prevalence of mental health problems but encounter barriers to accessing mental health services. Group Problem Management Plus (gPM+), developed by the World Health Organization, is a low-intensity psychological intervention delivered by nonspecialist facilitators. This qualitative process evaluation explores the acceptability, feasibility and perceived effectiveness of gPM+ for Syrian refugees resettled in …

  • Acceptability and feasibility of CHANGE, a non-specialist worker delivered intervention to address alcohol use disorders and psychological distress among conflict-affected populations in Uganda

    Open AccessAbhijit Nadkarni, Catharina Van Der Boor et al.ARTICLEJournal of Migration and Health2025Referências: 4

    If proven to be effective, the acceptability and feasibility of CHANGE makes it a potentially scalable intervention in low resource settings with shortage of specialist healthcare professionals. The intervention may have the potential to be integrated with other programmes of care that can address additional adversities that the population may face in the setting

  • Mental health of individuals with pre-existing mental illnesses at the beginning of the Covid-19 pandemic

    Open AccessJanine Stein, Alexander Pabst et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Public Health2024

    Background: The COVID-19 pandemic prompted a range of studies on mental health, with mixed results. While numerous studies reported worsened conditions in individuals with pre-existing mental disorders, others showed resilience and stability in mental health. However, longitudinal data focusing on the German population are sparse, especially regarding effects of age and pre-existing mental disorders during the early stages of the pandemic. Object…

  • Developing an explanatory model of alcohol misuse among South Sudanese refugees in northern Uganda

    Open AccessLene Søndergaard Andersen, Catharina Van Der Boor et al.ARTICLESSM - Mental Health2024

    Alcohol misuse is a significant health problem among forcibly displaced populations including male South Sudanese refugees in northern Uganda, yet interventions are sorely lacking. Developing an explanatory model of alcohol misuse in this population is the first step to designing appropriate and effective interventions. The aim of the current study was to examine alcohol misuse in this setting and to conceptualize an explanatory model of alcohol …

  • Interdisciplinary perspectives on digital technologies for global mental health

    Open AccessEva Kuhn, Maham Saleem et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2024

    Digital Mental Health Technologies (DMHTs) have the potential to close treatment gaps in settings where mental healthcare is scarce or even inaccessible. For this, DMHTs need to be affordable, evidence-based, justice-oriented, user-friendly, and embedded in a functioning digital infrastructure. This viewpoint discusses areas crucial for future developments of DMHTs. Drawing back on interdisciplinary scholarship, questions of health equity, consum…

  • Identifying contextual barriers and facilitators in implementing non-specialist interventions for mental health in Sri Lanka

    Open AccessKalpani Wijekoon Wijekoon Mudiyanselage, Frederike Jörg et al.ARTICLECambridge Prisms Global Mental…2024

    Non-specialist mental health interventions serve as a potential solution to reduce the mental healthcare gap in low- and middle-income countries, such as Sri Lanka. However, contextual factors often influence their effective implementation, reflecting a research-to-practice gap. This study, using a qualitative, participatory approach with local mental health workers (n = 9) and potential service users (n = 11), identifies anticipated barriers and…

  • Using Theory of Change to Plan for the Implementation of a Psychological Intervention Addressing Alcohol Use Disorder and Psychological Distress in Uganda

    Open AccessCatharina Van Der Boor, Lene Søndergaard Andersen et al.ARTICLECambridge Prisms Global Mental…2024

    In conflict-affected settings, prevalence of alcohol use disorders (AUDs) can be high. However, limited practical information exists on AUD management in low-income settings. Using a theory of change (ToC) approach, we aimed to identify pathways influencing the implementation and maintenance of a new transdiagnostic psychological intervention ("CHANGE"), targeting both psychological distress and AUDs in humanitarian settings. Three half-day works…

  • Scaling up task-sharing psychological interventions for refugees in Jordan

    Open AccessAniek Woodward, Egbert Sondorp et al.ARTICLEHealth Policy and Planning2023

    Training nonspecialists in providing evidence-based psychological interventions (i.e. task-sharing) can effectively increase community access to psychological support. However, task-sharing interventions for this purpose are rarely used at scale. The aim of this study was to examine the factors influencing the potential for scaling up (i.e. scalability) of a task-sharing psychological intervention called Problem Management Plus (PM+) for Syrian r…

  • Predictors of spontaneous remission and recovery among women with untreated perinatal depression in India and Pakistan

    Open AccessDaniela C Fuhr, Shahzia Sikander et al.ARTICLECambridge Prisms Global Mental…2023

    Women with low baseline severity may remit from perinatal depression with adequate social support from family and friends. These factors are important contributors to the management of perinatal depression and the prevention of clinical worsening, and should be considered when designing low-threshold psychological interventions

  • Community-based counselling programme for pregnant women with alcohol problems in Cape Town, South Africa

    Open AccessPetal Petersen Williams, Jodilee Erasmus et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Psychiatry2023

    Findings provide essential information to facilitate the adaptation of a community-based alcohol counselling programme for greater acceptability, feasibility and cultural appropriateness for the South African context.

  • “Nothing about us, without us”? A qualitative study of service user involvement in the development of lay-delivered psychological interventions in contexts affected by humanitarian crises

    Open AccessEmily Owen, Alessandro Massazza et al.ARTICLEJournal of Migration and Health2022

    Service user involvement was viewed as vital in the development of lay delivered psychological interventions, but remains predominantly tokenistic, partly due to limited guidance, time, and finances. Guidelines could support more meaningful and ethical service user involvement in lay-delivered psychological interventions in areas affected by humanitarian crises

  • Scalability of a task-sharing psychological intervention for refugees

    Open AccessAniek Woodward, Anne M de Graaff et al.ARTICLESSM - Mental Health2022

    Mental health systems across the world struggle to meet the needs of present and future populations. People affected by war and forced displacement, such as refugees, have especially high unmet psychological needs. Shifting tasks from mental health specialists to less specialised providers is increasingly opted as an innovative solution to overcome the mental health care gap. Yet little is known about how task-sharing interventions for refugees c…
