Prevalence of mental health illness in Nigeria: protocol for a systematic review and meta-analysis.
Background: Mental health disorders pose a major public health challenge worldwide, with one in eight individuals affected, particularly by anxiety and depression. In Nigeria, mental health issues are similarly prevalent, yet access to mental healthcare remains limited. Recent policy initiatives have increased governmental interest, but mental health research in Nigeria remains limited and fragmented.
Methods: This protocol outlines a systematic review and meta-analysis methodology to quantify the prevalence of mental health disorders in Nigeria. The review follows the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis Protocols (PRISMA-P) and Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) guidelines and includes cross-sectional studies, surveys, and cohort studies providing prevalence data on mental disorders diagnosed by healthcare professionals or identified via validated screening tools in the country. Data sources include PubMed/Medline, EMBASE, and African Journals Online (AJOL), from inception up to April 2024. Study selection, data extraction, and quality assessment will be conducted independently by multiple reviewers. A random-effects meta-analysis model will be used to synthesize data, with sensitivity and subgroup analyses to explore heterogeneity.
Discussion: This systematic review and meta-analysis will provide an estimate of the prevalence of mental health disorders in Nigeria, informing future public health policy and resource allocation. These findings will contribute significantly to understanding mental health in Nigeria and support the development of effective strategies and policies.
期刊介绍:
Systematic Reviews encompasses all aspects of the design, conduct and reporting of systematic reviews. The journal publishes high quality systematic review products including systematic review protocols, systematic reviews related to a very broad definition of health, rapid reviews, updates of already completed systematic reviews, and methods research related to the science of systematic reviews, such as decision modelling. At this time Systematic Reviews does not accept reviews of in vitro studies. The journal also aims to ensure that the results of all well-conducted systematic reviews are published, regardless of their outcome.
