Barriers and facilitators to integrating mental health and psychosocial support into economic inclusion programming for displaced families in ecuador
Background Displaced populations have increased rates of mental health problems, which have been shown to have a bidirectional relationship with economic insecurity. Despite growing calls globally to integrate mental health and psychosocial support (MHPSS) with economic inclusion (EI) programming, few models exist for practical implementation. We co-developed and piloted the Building the Future Toolkit (i.e., the Toolkit), an integrated MHPSS-EI …
Trajectories of intimate partner violence, common mental disorders, and functioning among women of reproductive age in conflict-affected timor-leste.
Exposure to intimate partner violence (IPV), posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), depressive symptoms, and functional impairment among women of reproductive age are pressing public health and human rights issues in conflict-affected settings. However, to better inform policy and influence positive change, there is a need to understand the trajectories and relationships between these issues over time. We aimed to characterize the trajectories and…
Alcohol and other drug use among HIV-affected adolescents and young adults in Zambia
Background Alcohol and other drug (AOD) use is a growing public health problem among AYA and young adults (AYA) globally. AYA who are affected by HIV in low-and-middle-income countries (LMICs) may have high risk for AOD use problems, yet the context of AOD use remains an understudied area in this population. Method ology: In this qualitative study, we conducted 16 focus group discussions with HIV-affected AYA (ages 16-24), caregivers, and healthc…
Access to mental health and psychosocial support among migrants in transit in Colombia
Extended periods of transit have become a defining feature of migration, driven by restrictive externalization policies globally and under-resourced health and social protection systems in transit countries. Migrants in transit-individuals actively migrating between their place of origin and intended destination-are disproportionately exposed to violence, exploitation, and other adversities that increase their risk for mental health problems. Mig…
Experiences and impact of Duelo Migratorio among Venezuelan refugees and migrants in Peru

The objective of this…
Combining a guided self-help and brief alcohol intervention to improve mental health and reduce substance use among refugee men in Uganda
Evidence on the effectiveness and implementation of mental health and psychosocial support (MHPSS) interventions for men in humanitarian settings is limited. Moreover, engagement and retention of men in such interventions has been challenging. Adaptations may therefore be required to improve the appropriateness and acceptability of these interventions for men. This study conducted formative research and examined the feasibility of combining an MH…

Accessibility and Perceived Impact of a Group Psychosocial Intervention for Women in Ecuador
There is increasing guidance promoting the provision of mental health and psychosocial support programs to both migrant and host community members in humanitarian settings. However, there is a lack of information on the respective experiences and benefits for migrant and host community members who are participating in mental health and psychosocial support programming. We evaluated a community-based psychosocial program for migrant and host commu…
Comparing Mediators and Moderators of Mental Health Outcomes from the Implementation of Group Problem Management Plus (PM+) among Venezuelan Refugees and Migrants and Colombian Returnees in Northern C…
Colombia hosts the largest number of refugees and migrants fleeing the humanitarian emergency in Venezuela, many of whom experience high levels of displacement-related trauma and adversity. Yet, Colombian mental health services do not meet the needs of this population. Scalable, task-sharing interventions, such as Group Problem Management Plus (Group PM+), have the potential to bridge this gap by utilizing lay workers to provide the intervention.…

Ensuring equity in mental health and psychosocial support during the Covid-19 pandemic and beyond
Populations affected by armed conflict and other humanitarian crises are at elevated risk for mental health problems. While the COVID-19 pandemic has had broadly deleterious effects on livelihoods, economic well-being, and population health worldwide, vulnerable groups have been disproportionately impacted by the pandemic. Providing mental health and psychosocial support (MHPSS) services during these times to vulnerable groups, especially in low-…
Alcohol and other drug use patterns and services in an integrated refugee settlement in Northern Zambia
Our study's findings indicate the need for services to address AOD use in Mantapala Refugee Settlement. Interventions should consider the social and structural determinants of AOD use
Why local concepts matter
There is considerable variation in the presentation of mental health problems across cultural contexts. Most screening and assessment tools do not capture local idioms and culturally specific presentations of distress, thus introducing measurement error and overlooking meaningful variation in mental health. Before applying screening and assessment tools in a particular context, a qualitative exploration of locally salient idioms and expression of…
Lay HIV counselors' knowledge and attitudes toward depression
Introduction: Depression is the most common mental disorder among people living with HIV/AIDS and has a negative impact on HIV treatment outcomes. Training lay HIV counselors to identify and manage depression may contribute to improved patient access and adherence to treatment, and reduce stigma and discrimination among lay health workers toward both HIV and depression. The purpose of this study was to assess the current knowledge and attitudes o…
Associations of conflict and migration on childhood cognitive development in Ethiopia
BACKGROUND: Migration has substantial consequences on the wellness of affected households, thereby exposing children to circumstances that are detrimental for healthy cognitive development. This study evaluates the relationship between conflict and migration during conception or early childhood and childhood cognitive development outcomes among families in Ethiopia. We hypothesized that migration is associated with worse cognitive development out…
Community-based participatory design of a psychosocial intervention for migrant women in Ecuador and Panama
There is increasing evidence supporting the effectiveness of scalable mental health and psychosocial support (MHPSS) interventions delivered by non-specialists for improving wellbeing among migrant populations in humanitarian settings. Balancing fidelity in the implementation of evidence-based MHPSS interventions with their fit to the needs and preferences of new populations and contexts remains a challenge when introducing MHPSS interventions in…

Mental Health and Social Support Among HIV-Positive Injection Drug Users and Their Caregivers in China
Alcohol use and intimate partner violence among women and their partners in sub-Saharan Africa
Results of this study suggest that partner alcohol use is a robust correlate of IPV in SSA; however, drinking norms may independently relate to IPV and confound the relationship between partner alcohol use and IPV. These findings motivate future research employing experimental and longitudinal designs to examine alcohol use as a modifiable risk factor of IPV and as a novel target for treatment and prevention research to reduce IPV in SSA
Addressing culture and context in humanitarian response
Delivery of effective mental health and psychosocial support programs requires knowledge of existing health systems and socio-cultural context. To respond rapidly to humanitarian emergencies, international organizations often seek to design programs according to international guidelines and mobilize external human resources to manage and deliver programs. Familiarizing international humanitarian practitioners with local culture and contextualizin…
