  • The origins of the 4 × 4 framework for noncommunicable disease at the World Health Organization

    2021, SSM - Population Health
    Citation Excerpt :

    Practically, the 4 × 4 framework for NCDs has been highly influential with respect to subsequent global monitoring frameworks and indicators for disease control, as well as the way that NCDs are understood as part of Universal Health Coverage and the post-2015 Sustainable Development Goals (United Nations, 2017; World Health Organization, 2013, 2018). The 4 × 4 framework has been criticized variously for (1) excluding specific diseases such as mental illnesses, neurological conditions, hemoglobinopathies, and musculoskeletal conditions, for example; (2) its limited explanatory power and focus on vertical disease control; and, (3) neglecting the diversity of the diseases and infectious and environmental risk factors that affect the global poor (Binagwaho et al., 2014; Birbeck, 2011; Mensah & Mayosi, 2012; Raviola et al., 2011; World Health Organization, 2013). More recently, there are signs that the WHO's commitment to the rigidly narrow 4 × 4 framework may be softening.

  • Suitability of measurements used to assess mental health outcomes in men and women trafficked for sexual and labour exploitation: A systematic review

    2016, The Lancet Psychiatry
    Citation Excerpt :

    Such tools are also needed for the assessment and treatment of survivors of human trafficking in health-care settings. Validated screening tools might be particularly helpful in resource-poor settings,8,9 although, where possible, screening should be followed by diagnosis to confirm the condition.8 Work to investigate the validity and reliability of mental health assessment tools for survivors of trafficking has been scarce5 and researchers have raised concerns about potential risks to internal validity, because study samples have included participants of several nationalities and because of context-specific issues related to the trafficking experience, such as the type and severity of violence.10

  • Catatonia in resource-limited settings: A case series and treatment protocol

    2015, General Hospital Psychiatry
    Citation Excerpt :

    In Fig. 1, we summarize our initial treatment approach for catatonia, developed collaboratively with nonspecialist providers in Haiti and Rwanda. There is consensus that shifting care to nonspecialist providers will improve access and care for patients with neuropsychiatric disorders, especially in places where specialist resources are limited [19–21]. Familiarity with the clinical features of catatonia is essential for health professionals working in low-resource settings.
