This present study, thus sought to determine if variations exist in the prevalence of self-reported CMDs along the lines of gender and residential densities in a traditional urban city. Using the Neumman’s probability sampling method, 1200 respondents were selected and an adapted SRQ-20 was employed for the study. ANOVA and ArcGIS methods were employed to examine the variations, mapping and identification of the localities of high Self-reported CMD prevalence respectively. The result showed that overall prevalence was 32.5%. Females (35.1%) reported more cases of Self-reported CMD than males (30.1%). The analysis of variance shows a significant variation in Self-reported CMD across the residential densities (F=22.620, p=0.000). This implies that the prevalence of self-reported CMD varies across the residential densities. Post-hoc test result shows that Self-reported CMD varies across the residential densities as the mean score of high residential density area (5.1956) was higher than those of medium (3.9859) and low (3.5766) density areas. CMD is a major public health burden in and there is need for increased public sensitization on its causative factors. The high density localities should also be targeted as areas requiring immediate mental health and social service intervention.","PeriodicalId":165566,"journal":{"name":"Urbana - Urban Affairs & Public Policy","volume":"30 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129764620","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, despite the literature pointing out that social fragmentation comes with the implementation of road infrastructures, little knowledge is known in respect to the nexus between road infrastructure projects and social fragmentation within peri-urban areas. This paper, therefore, used concurrent triangulation mixed-method design to understand the nexus between road infrastructure and social fragmentation within peri-urban communities in Accra, Ghana by using the case of the Accra-Kasoa road infrastructure expansion project. The findings indicate that the Accra-Kasoa infrastructure project indirectly triggers social fragmentation through the process of displacement of residents during its implementation, as the road created barriers that limited social interactions and social networks within and between residents in the studied communities. Moreover, the findings reveal that the social fragmentation in peri-urban communities is caused by other factors such as customary land tenure systems and changes in the housing tastes of residents in those communities. The findings of this paper inform policymakers not to see the emergence of social fragmentation as only being triggered by physical infrastructure systems but socio-cultural ones as well.","PeriodicalId":165566,"journal":{"name":"Urbana - Urban Affairs & Public Policy","volume":"95 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130845222","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
