Description

Mental health problems are a significant and growing cause of global burden of disease. While evidence-based interventions are available, the treatment gap is particularly large, especially in low- and middle-income countries (LMIC). One of the reasons for this large treatment gap is demand-side barriers. The aim of this systematic review is to identify and synthesise the evidence on interventions to reduce these barriers and improve help-seeking for mental health problems in LMICs.
