While the majority of adolescents live in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), relatively little to no data exists on the prevalence of mental disorders among adolescents living in these regions. The existence of these ‘data deserts’ severely limits evidence-based service planning and prioritization for adolescent mental health in LMICs, with implications for both in-country health departments and global health organizations. To address the lack of data in these regions, this project has conducted nationally-representative household surveys of adolescent mental disorders in three LMICs: Kenya (K-NAMHS), Indonesia (I-NAMHS), and Vietnam (V-NAMHS). Data collection was conducted throughout 2021, with over 5000 interviews with adolescents and their primary caregivers completed in each country. The data generated by these surveys is representative of the general population and provides vital information for service planning and advocacy by stakeholders. This webinar series starts by presenting research findings related to anxiety and depression. Future events will focus on adverse childhood experiences (ACEs), service use, and access to public datasets.March 16, 2023 03:00 AM Baltimore | 7:00 AM London 10:00 AM Nairobi | 03:00 PM ShanghaiClick Here to RegisterSpeakers: Holly Erskine Adjunct Associate Professor The University of Queensland Principal Investigator of NAMHS Amirah Ellyza Wahdi Professor Universitas Gadjah Mada Project Manager of I-NAMHS (Indonesia) Yohannes Dibaba Wado Research Scientist African Population and Health Research Center Project Manager of K-NAMHS (Kenya) Nguyen Duc Vinh Vice Director Institute of Sociology, Vietnam Academy of Social Sciences Project Director of V-NAMHS (Vietnam) Introduction and Q&A Moderator: Joemer Maravilla Research Fellow The University of Queensland We know that the time of this webinar is not ideal for those located in the western hemisphere.
