Psychotherapies for depression in low‐ and middle‐income countries: a meta‐analysis
Overview
This meta-analysis evaluates the effectiveness of psychotherapies for depression in low- and middle-income countries by comparing 32 trials from non-Western regions with those from Western nations. The authors report that while effect sizes are large, they may be influenced by publication bias or differences in control conditions rather than inherent superiority of the treatments. The resource concludes that Western-developed therapies appear at least as effective in these settings and can be utilized there.
