Overview

AI-generated summary, not a substitute for reading the source.

This realist systematic review and meta-analysis examines group psychosocial interventions for anxiety, depression, and PTSD in children and adolescents within low- and middle-income countries. The authors analyze 38 randomized controlled trials to identify how contextual factors and intervention mechanisms interact to influence outcomes. The resource provides program theories suggesting that adaptations for cognitive level, age-appropriateness, gender issues, and cultural context may enhance effectiveness.
