Approaches to the development of new mental well-being screening tools for Indigenous peoples: a systematic mixed studies review protocol.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Indigenous peoples' world views are intricately interrelated and interconnected with those of their communities and the environments where they live. Consequently, Indigenous peoples have a holistic view of their health, which contrasts with the dominant Western biomedical paradigm. However, the mental well-being of Indigenous peoples is predominately screened using tools developed using the Western paradigm that may not be culturally appropriate. The objective of this systematic mixed studies review (SMSR) is to assess the extent of the literature related to approaches used to develop new tools to screen the mental well-being of Indigenous adults.

Methods and analysis

This SMSR will be conducted in accordance with the method proposed by Pluye et al. It w
