Sustainable development for global mental health

A large ecosystem of external actors for mental disorders already exists presenting opportunities for unlocking additional resources, though coordination of efforts is crucial, and the use of a sustainable and ethical approach is a moral imperative. Further research is needed to understand all external actors and the allocation of their contributions in different settings.

HealthNet TPO Community Informant Detection Tool

The Community Informant Detection Tool (CIDT) is a procedure of pro-active case-finding of people with suspected mental health problems, which subsequently promotes help seeking. The CIDT consists of contextualized vignettes and associated pictures to facilitate recognition by lay people. The rationale behind the strategy is that briefly trained community members that are intimately familiar with the community, are especially well-placed and capable to identify people in need of care. Research into the accuracy of the CIDT confirms this.
