This event is hosted by the Department of Social and Behavioral Sciences.
This presentation focuses on a guided self-help intervention developed by the World Health Organization called Self Help Plus (SH+). SH+ was delivered in workshops of 20-30 people by briefly trained lay facilitators, through audio-recorded content and an illustrated book. This presentation focuses on the adaptation of SH+ with South Sudanese refugees in northern Uganda, and its evaluation through a cluster randomized trial. The presentation will discuss results of these studies and their potential implications for the field of global mental health.
Presenter: Wietse A. Tol is Professor in Global Mental Health at the Section of Global Health, Department of Public Health at the University of Copenhagen; Program Director of the Peter C. Alderman Program for Global Mental Health at HealthRight International; and Associate at the Department of Mental Health, Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health.
