This book highlights the emerging research and policy development efforts to address child and adolescent behavioral health in Sub-Saharan Africa, where mental health policy is at an early stage and in need of context-specific attention to its successes and shortcomings. A diverse range of researchers, with expertise on relevant policy in both the region as a whole and country-specific contexts, including Ghana, Kenya, Nigeria, Rwanda, South Africa, and Uganda, outline theoretically informed, culturally appropriate, evidence-based, and youth- and family-focused service models. The first work of its kind with an exclusive focus on the understudied region of Sub-Saharan Africa, this text:
  • Provides an overview of the current state of child and adolescent behavioral health in the region
  • Evaluates empirical work on risk and protective factors influencing behavioral outcomes
  • Highlights emerging intervention research and dialogue on what works to improvechild and adolescent behavioral health
  • Offers insight and strategies on how to advance child and adolescent behavioral health in policy, research, and practice
Child Behavioral Health in Sub-Saharan Africa: Towards Evidence Generation and Policy Development is a unique reference that offers guidance for current and future policy-makers, researchers, practitioners, and students as they seek to invest and engage in the healthy development of a future generation.
