Scaling up mental health service provision through multisectoral integration: A qualitative analysis of factors shaping delivery and uptake among South Sudanese refugees and healthcare workers in Uganda.

ABSTRACT:

Background

There is a growing need for mental health and psychosocial support (MHPSS) interventions that can feasibly be provided to larger groups of people, particularly in humanitarian settings. However, scaling up mental health interventions is notoriously difficult. There are therefore growing calls for integrating mental health outside traditional health structures, both to increase reach and to address social determinants of mental health. The objective of this study is to explore barriers and facilitators of Self-Help Plus (SH+), an MHPSS innovation implemented through multisectoral integration. We explore delivery and uptake at the scale of SH+ and aim to understand intervention adaptation needs when integrating SH+ within other health and non-health sectors in Uganda.
