Yet, the diagnostic boundaries and the characteristics of their dynamically intertwined symptom constellations remain obscure, particularly in non-Western settings. Regularized partial correlation networks were estimated and the diagnostic boundaries were explored using community detection analysis. The global and local connectivity of network structures of public versus private healthcare settings and treatment responders versus nonresponders were compared with a permutation test. Overall, depressed mood, panic, fatigue, concentration problems and somatic symptoms were the most central. Leveraging the longitudinal nature of the data, our analyses revealed baseline networks did not differ across treatment responders and nonresponders. The results did not support distinct illness subclusters of the CMDs. For public healthcare settings, panic was the most central symptom, whereas in private, fatigue was the most central.

The intervention consisted of eight structured sessions that included psychoeducation from a gender perspective, mindfulness exercises, interactive activities, arts and crafts, and sharing personal experiences. We carried out participant observation and 27 semi-structured interviews with the participants. The main outcomes were, first, that participants' moods improved, and second, that the improvement was mainly due to gathering with others and having someone to talk to. In addition, we observed that lessons during the Circles were often prescriptive, which, rather than creating a space for reflection on personal experiences, imposed globalized views of mental health and gender.

A total of 1,496 participants were recruited from urban and rural areas, and their socio-demographic characteristics and data on smoking, alcohol use, depression, anxiety and insomnia were obtained. Chi-square and Fisher's exact tests were used for univariate analyses, followed by multivariable logistic regression to identify factors associated with suicidal behaviors.

The 12-month prevalence rates were 3.2% for suicidal ideation, 1.5% for suicide plans and 0.6% for suicide attempts. Smoking emerged as a significant predictor of suicidal ideation, plans and attempts, while alcohol use was strongly linked to past-year suicide attempts.

MMSGs provide 4 weeks of home-based, individual PST-FBI, followed by a peer-led group session called <i>col at sacul</i> (circle of serenity). The intervention targeted peri-urban pregnant women and new mothers screened for psychological distress. This was a two-armed, pre-post, waitlist-controlled study that employed the Sierra Leone Perinatal Psychological Distress Scale (SLPPDS) to screen and measure their outcomes.

This study sought to assess if caregiver-level factors (parental warmth and affection, positive child-caregiver interaction and parenting self-efficacy) are protective for symptoms of child depression. To address these questions, a quantitative survey was implemented (n = 501) in the Imvepi refugee settlement in Uganda. Results indicated bivariate associations between several caregiver-level factors and child depression. However, in multivariate models, which included measures of economic stress, both parental warmth and affection and child-caregiver interaction were no longer significantly associated with child-reported depression. Parenting self-efficacy was found to be significantly associated with lower child-reported depression. These findings indicate the need to examine and explore how or if caregiver-level factors, such as warmth and parenting self-efficacy, as well as child-caregiver relationships overall, operate in the context of chronic stress.
