Adolescence is a critical time for developing mental health disorders, yet limited research exists on these issues in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs).Methods: The study included 1,396 adolescents (ages 9-15) and assessed their mental health, nutrition and maternal well-being. Depression and anxiety were measured using standardized questionnaires, while dietary diversity and food insecurity were evaluated through household assessments. Incidence rate ratios assessed the relationship between nutrition and mental health.Results: Results showed that 8.1% of boys and 10.2% of girls experienced depression, with anxiety rates ranging from 5.8% to 39.1%. Adolescents from households with higher dietary diversity had lower symptoms of depression and anxiety (IRRs:0.91-0.96), while those with higher food insecurity had increased symptoms (IRRs:1.24-1.86). Folate deficiency was associated with depressive symptoms, particularly in boys. Maternal mental health was observed to mediate the relationship between food insecurity and adolescent depression and anxiety.Conclusions: The study highlights that improving maternal mental health and addressing nutritional deficiencies, particularly folate, may benefit adolescent well-being. Further research in other LMICs is needed to explore these associations and their mechanisms.","PeriodicalId":48579,"journal":{"name":"Global Mental Health","volume":"12 ","pages":"e79"},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2025-07-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12322787/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144790432","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Waves for Change, a Sport for Development (SfD) intervention, employs task-sharing through its '5-Pillar Method' to build resilience and prevent mental health conditions among at-risk adolescents in South Africa. This study assessed the implementation outcomes of this Method using a mixed-methods design, incorporating interviews, focus groups, self-report questionnaires, document reviews and routine site assessments, with 69 stakeholders including staff, peer coaches, mental healthcare providers, social workers, teachers, and adolescents. A thematic analysis revealed key facilitators to successful implementation, including: a year-long preventative approach, creation of safe spaces for learning self-regulation skills, employment of youth coaches from local communities, incorporation of fun, group-based physical activities, modelling and repetition of desired skills, provision of transport and meals, government partnerships, and consistent weekly training and supervision. Implementation challenges included coach capacity, due to their education levels and own trauma experiences, measurement of fidelity to the Method and of adolescents' emotional experiences, and some concerns around ocean safety. These findings provide valuable insights for implementing community-based SfD interventions for adolescents facing adversity, and contributes towards global evidence supporting task-shared mental health approaches in LMICs.","PeriodicalId":48579,"journal":{"name":"Global Mental Health","volume":"12 ","pages":"e77"},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2025-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12322778/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144790434","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Each survey included a nationally representative sample of students aged 13-15 years. Data on suicidal thoughts, plans, attempts, and associated factors-including health risk behaviours, experiences of physical violence and bullying, social difficulties, and parental supervision-were collected using self-report questionnaires. The population attributable fraction for each risk factor was calculated using multiple logistic regression. The prevalence of suicidal behaviours ranged from 0.7% (Myanmar) to 17.3% (Philippines) in 2007/2008, and from 8.6% (Indonesia) to 20.9% (Thailand) in 2015/2016. Being physically attacked or bullied and experiencing social difficulties were the most consistent and significant risk factors across countries and time points. Female gender, poverty, alcohol consumption, and drug use also contributed to risk at varying levels. Suicidal behaviours have risen alarmingly in several Southeast Asian countries.

In trauma therapy, the concept of psychological stabilization refers to the improvement of a patient's capacity to manage symptoms and emotions associated with traumatic experiences.

Most studies showed a significant reduction in PTSD symptoms compared to waitlist (six studies), treatment as usual (three studies) and pre-post analyses (nine studies), though nine studies found no difference between intervention and comparison group. Notably, two studies found the stabilizing approach less effective than the comparison group, and two reported no symptom reduction in pre-post analysis.

We conducted semi-structured interviews with a subset of these participants (n = 16) at post-intervention to explore the intervention's acceptability, appropriateness and feasibility. Two bilingual research assistants analyzed qualitative data using thematic network analysis. Findings suggested that VM youth viewed the integrated intervention as acceptable and appropriate, noting that it was helpful to have a \"safe space\" to discuss difficult emotions. They also noted challenges to engaging in the intervention, including transportation time and balancing other life responsibilities with intervention participation. Findings point to the importance of engaging community member participants in the adaptation and testing process of mental health interventions to increase intervention fit with the target population.","PeriodicalId":48579,"journal":{"name":"Global Mental Health","volume":"12 ","pages":"e71"},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2025-06-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12277201/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144683427","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
