A MHIN review summary* for the systematic review entitled: 'The Acceptability and Feasibility of Task-Sharing for Mental Healthcare in Low and Middle Income Countries: A Systematic Review' (Padmanathan and De Silva, 2013).

This systematic review highlights the importance of research into the acceptability and feasibility of task sharing interventions; specifically the need to evaluate the acceptability to participants, their families, the workforce and healthcare professionals.
