Read about our work, impact and analysis
Violence against children (VAC) is a global problem, and the development of empirical methods to better understand its nature is a step towards tackling this challenge.
Globally, about one billion children experience violence, affecting individuals, families, communities, and society. In Colombia, ongoing conflict and drug-related armed violence drive high violence rates.
Strategies to promote mental health care help-seeking among children are needed, especially in lowincome and middle-income countries and in complex settings. The aim of this trial was to compare a vignette-based, community-level, proactive case detection tool (CCDT) against standard awareness raising for promoting mental health help-seeking among children and adolescents.
Can’t Wait To Learn, hosted by War Child, contributed a think piece to the new UNICEF and EdTech Hub report, Shaping the Future of Digital Education: A Global Conversation on How to Move Beyond Digital as Usual.
Although psychosocial interventions delivered by non-specialist providers effectively treat common mental disorders such as depression and anxiety, the treatment-specific elements driving their efficacy remain largely unknown. Our aim was to compare and rank the efficacy of the individual active components of task-shared psychosocial interventions and to predict efficacy using individual participant characteristics.
This study aimed to develop an intervention to improve consistent school attendance in participation with caregivers, teachers, and other stakeholders, in refugee settings in Uganda.
Adolescent involvement in mental health prevention research remains limited in low-resource settings. This study examined the feasibility, acceptability, processes and perceived impacts of adolescent advisory groups (AAGs) within the ALIVE research in Colombia, Nepal and South Africa.
Youth in Ukraine release their research findings on mental health and they have demands.
Poverty is associated with depression and anxiety among adolescents, but evidence of interventions that prevent adolescent depression and anxiety among adolescents living in poverty is weak. Interventions either focus on reducing poverty or addressing depression and anxiety, but an approach that combines both may offer larger benefit.
