Abstract This commentary highlights two cross-cultural issues identified from our global mental health (GMH) research, RECOLLECT (Recovery Colleges Characterisation and Testing) 2: self-enhancement ingroup biases. Self-enhancement is a tendency to maintain express unrealistically positive self-views. Ingroup biases are differences in one’s evaluation of others belonging the same social group. These discussed context GMH research using self-report measures across cultures. GMH, field evolving...

Demand for digital health interventions is increasing in many countries. The use of recorded mental recovery narratives becoming more widespread clinical practice. Mental are first-person lived experience accounts from problems, including struggles and successes over time. Helpful impacts include connectedness with the narrative validation experiences. Possible harms feeling disconnected excluded others. Diverse collections types narrators describing multiple ways to recover important...
Abstract Background The co‐occurrence of depression among tuberculosis (TB) patients is a critical issue, contributing to poor treatment outcomes, prolonged hospitalisations and increased healthcare expenses. Objective objective this study was assess the feasibility delivering co‐designed care pathway within TB services in Pakistan. Design Mixed‐method study. Setting Participants Routine screening for conducted at three facilities Peshawar, Pakistan, encompassing primary, secondary tertiary...
Background Community health participation is an essential tool in research and management where community members, researchers other relevant stakeholders contribute to the decision-making processes. Though processes can be complex challenging, evidence from previous studies have reported significant value of engaging with projects.Objective To identify nature extent involvement participatory (CHPR) projects Ghana draw lessons for design a new project on diabetes intervention Accra called...
South Africa has the largest population of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infected patients on antiretroviral therapy (ART) realising benefits increased life expectancy. However, this may be susceptible to cardiovascular disease (CVD) development, due chronic consequences a lifestyle-related combination risk factors, HIV infection and ART. We predicted 10-year mortality in an HIV-infected long-term ART, based their observed metabolic factor profile.We extracted data from hospital medical...
Abstract Introduction This review explores the characteristics of service delivery-related interventions to improve maternal and newborn health (MNH) in low-and middle-income countries (LMICs) over last two decades, comparing three common framings these interventions, namely, quality improvement (QI), implementation science/research (IS/IR), system strengthening (HSS). Methods The followed staged scoping methodology proposed by Levac et al. (2010). We developed piloted a systematic search...
Knowledge of factors associated with school absenteeism among orphans and vulnerable children (OVC) who are at greater risk could facilitate effective policies to mitigate dropouts. This study assessed the level its OVC in five local government areas (LGAs) Lagos State, Nigeria. A cross-sectional households purposively selected LGAs State was conducted. Enrolled were based on National Household Vulnerability Assessment criteria. School measured by whether missed any day, for reason last...
In people with TB, co-existence of long-term conditions (e.g., depression, diabetes and HIV) risk factors (e.g.,alcohol misuse, malnutrition, smoking) are associated increased mortality poor treatment outcomes including delayed recovery, TB failure relapse. However, it is unclear as to what extent these comorbidities addressed in policy practice. Between August October 2021, we conducted an online cross-sectional survey high-TB burden countries. We recruited a purposive sample health...
Abstract Background Depression is common among people with tuberculosis (TB). The condition typically unrecognised or untreated despite available and effective treatments in most low- middle-income countries. TB services these countries are relatively well established, offering a potential opportunity to deliver integrated depression screening care. However, there limited evidence on how such integration could be achieved. This study aimed understand the barriers facilitators integrate care...
Introduction This review will explore the characteristics of service delivery-related interventions to improve maternal and newborn health in low-income middle-income countries, comparing three common framing approaches these (referred as archetypes), namely, quality improvement (QI), system strengthening (HSS) implementation science (IS), over last 20 years. Methods analysis study literature on from 2000 2020. be achieved by searching for English peer-reviewed articles following electronic...
