“My home is (now) at peace”: Evaluating the relevance, acceptability and potential scalability of a guided self-help intervention for male refugees in Uganda
Overview
This qualitative study evaluates the relevance, acceptability, and scalability of a guided self-help intervention addressing mental health and alcohol misuse among male refugees in Uganda. Through interviews with participants, family members, and facilitators, the research highlights the intervention's alignment with participants' goals of productivity and social acceptance. The findings suggest that while the format supports scalability, challenges such as resource limitations and competing priorities must be addressed for sustainable implementation.
