Effectiveness of psychological crisis interventions during infectious disease outbreaks in low- and middle-income countries: a systematic review of Randomized Control Trials
Overview
This systematic review evaluates randomized controlled trials of psychological interventions for adults with common mental health conditions during infectious disease outbreaks in low- and middle-income countries. The authors analyze 17 studies to assess the effectiveness of brief, non-specialist-delivered treatments such as psychoeducation, mindfulness, and cognitive restructuring. The resource is intended for researchers and clinicians seeking evidence on scalable psychosocial support strategies in low-resource outbreak settings.
