They faced substantial physical, emotional, and financial burdens, and relied on faith, social support, and adaptive caregiving strategies. All expressed willingness to attend group-based, in-person training focused on practical skills, including communication, managing dementia-related behaviors, personal hygiene, nutrition, and medication administration.

Twenty-eight studies met inclusion criteria, most published after 2020 and conducted in the United States. Outcome measurement was dominated by self-reported data, primarily custom pre-post surveys assessing knowledge, confidence or attitudes.

MHPSS interventions addressed four broad categories of outcomes: mental health, incidences of GBV, social and community outcomes, and women's economic empowerment.

We characterized the country-level ecological network of age-standardized incidence rates for 10 mental disorders, identified statistically central disorders and examined how individual countries influenced estimated network connectivity. Data for 204 countries and territories, including Sociodemographic Index values, were obtained from the Global Burden of Disease Study 2023. A regularized network model using the mgm framework estimated conditional associations among country-level variables. Strength centrality and case-deletion delta-centrality analyses assessed disorder connectedness and country influence, with bootstrap procedures evaluating stability. Approximately 400 million incident cases of the studied disorders were estimated globally in 2023. Anorexia nervosa and bipolar disorder had the highest strength centrality, indicating broader conditional connections with other disorders. Australia, the United States, Iran, China and Finland showed relatively large delta-centrality values, suggesting greater influence on estimated centrality than most countries. Strength centrality stability was acceptable but modest.
