Advancements in global mental health implementation research offer promising strategies for improving access to evidence-based mental health care. However, these advances have not resulted in a decrease in the prevalence of mental disorders. By examining the relationships between determinants and outcomes of mental health services, opportunities have been identified to enhance the impact and sustainability of innovations in global mental health. Key outcomes including supply, demand, and quality of mental health services are influenced by determinants such as community stakeholder engagement, cultural relevance, stigma, human resource capacity, organization of services, governance, policy, financing, and sociopolitical and community context. A causal loop diagram illustrates the complex relationships among these factors and highlights the importance of community engagement, addressing stigma, and balancing supply and demand to improve the quality of services in low- and middle-income countries. Applying systems science methodologies in global mental health research can help identify sustainable approaches to enhance the population-level impact of mental health services.
Advancements in global mental health implementation research have revealed promising strategies for improving access to evidence-based mental health care. These advancements have not translated, however, into a reduced prevalence of mental disorders. In this review we examine the relationships between determinants (i.e., barriers and facilitators) and outcomes of mental health services in low- and middle-income countries to identify opportunities for improving the population-level impact and sustainability of innovations in global mental health. We identified three key implementation and services outcomes that influenced the prevalence of mental disorders in the 56 included review articles: supply (access, implementation), demand (help seeking, utilization), and quality (effectiveness, quality of care) of mental health services. Determinants of these outcomes revealed seven themes: community stakeholder engagement; cultural relevance; stigma; human resource capacity; organization of services; governance, policy, and financing; and sociopolitical and community context. We developed a causal loop diagram to illustrate the relationships among these determinants and outcomes. The causal loop diagram revealed the central role of community stakeholder engagement in bridging implementation and patient outcomes, the importance of addressing stigma and social determinants of mental health, and the need to complement supply-side implementation strategies with approaches to equilibrate demand and improve the quality of services. Applying systems science methodologies to global mental health research presents an opportunity to examine the complex relationships among community and health system factors that influence implementation of evidence-based interventions in order to identify sustainable approaches to improve the population-level impact of mental health services in low- and middle-income countries.
