Psychometric performance of the Mental Health Implementation Science Tools (mhIST) across six low- and middle-income countries.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Existing implementation measures developed in high-income countries may have limited appropriateness for use within low- and middle-income countries (LMIC). In response, researchers at Johns Hopkins University began developing the Mental Health Implementation Science Tools (mhIST) in 2013 to assess priority implementation determinants and outcomes across four key stakeholder groups-consumers, providers, organization leaders, and policy makers-with dedicated versions of scales for each group.
