    Abstract This is the protocol for a Campbell systematic review. The objectives are as follows. The proposed evidence and gap map will present relevant process evaluations and other studies of barriers and facilitators, both qualitative and quantitative, for eligible homelessness interventions to highlight the issues arising in the implementation of these interventions. Specifically, the objectives of the map are to: (i) develop a clear taxonomy of interventions and implementation issues (e.g., barriers and facilitators-factors which works as barriers to hinder successful implementation of policies and programmes and factors which facilitate the intervention and therefore support its implementation) related to homelessness in high-income countries; (ii) map available systematic reviews and primary studies of the implementation issues of interventions for those experiencing homelessness and those at risk of homelessness, with an overview provided in a summary report; (iii) provide a searchable database of included studies accessible to research users via CHI website.

    Abstract The dearth of trained mental health care professionals to deliver specialized and complex models of interventions is one of the biggest barriers to accessing mental health care services particularly in less resourced settings. Perinatal mental health issues continue to contribute significantly to the global mental health burden. According to WHO (2015), 20 % of mothers in low and middle income countries suffer from a mental disorder after childbirth. There is robust research evidence particularly from LMICs to state that interventions delivered by non-specialist lay counsellors at the grass root level is emerging as an effective alternative to address the large treatment gaps.MAMTA Health Institute for mother and child(HIMC) is a pioneer organization in the field of RMNCH+A. Against this background, MAMTA HIMC explored the feasibility of remote training level health workers in the delivery of simple psycho social interventions for women in the perinatal period. Philips PAN India is a project at MAMTAHIMC which attempts to task shift expert mental health services to front line workers by interspersing simple psycho services into the framework of routine RMCH+A services. The paper aims to (1) Describe the experience of remote training of persons with no previous knowledge or experience of mental health to recognize mental health problems and deliver psychosocial services at the grassroot level 2) Discuss the impact and acceptability of the training.The paper recommends using non- specialized strategies, digital platforms, engaging community level human resources and low cost resources as opposed to complex conventional psychotherapies.

    Abstract This is the protocol for a Campbell systematic review. The review will address the following research questions: What is the evidence on the effects of adult mentoring programmes in reducing anti-social, violent and offending behaviour in children aged under 18 years? Are these effects sustained after the end of mentoring? Which aspects/features of adult mentoring programmes promote the reduction of anti-social, violent and criminal behaviour in children aged under 18 years? What are the hindering factors/barriers that affect the successful implementation of adult mentoring programmes in children aged under 18 years? What are the supporting factors/facilitators that contribute to the successful implementation of adult mentoring programmes in children aged under 18 years? What is the evidence on programme costs and incremental cost effectiveness? (The incremental (or marginal cost) is the cost of providing the intervention over and above the cost of usual services).

    Abstract A caregiver support group was initiated at the Schizophrenia Research Foundation, Chennai, India. The study aimed to evaluate this service for 100 caregivers of persons with dementia, identify the needs met and explore the facilitating factors and barriers for participation. The support group met the information, emotional and counselling needs of caregivers. Trust between members was a key facilitating factor. Lack of help at home to support the person with dementia, distance from the venue and work commitments were barriers to caregiver participation. The study found that support groups fulfil an important need for caregivers by providing information and peer support.

    Abstract Objective: To describe the experiences and needs of caregivers of persons with dementia during the COVID-19 pandemic and lockdown in a city in India.
    Design: Qualitative study using a telephonic semistructured interview.
    Setting: A specialist geriatric outpatient mental health service based in a nongovernmental organization in Chennai, India.
    Participants: A purposive sampling of family members of persons with dementia registered in the database and seen within the previous 6 months.
    Results: Thirty-one caregivers participated. Thematic analysis of the data showed two sets of issues that the caregivers of persons with dementia faced in their experiences during the pandemic. The first set was unique to the caregivers that directly related to their caregiving role, while the second set did not relate directly to their caregiving role. These two sets also appeared to have a two-way interaction influencing each other. These issues generated needs, some of which required immediate support while others required longer-term support. The caregivers suggested several methods, such as use of video-consultations, telephone-based support and clinic-based in-person visits to meet their needs. They also wanted more services postpandemic.
    Conclusion: Caregivers of persons with dementia had multiple needs during the pandemic. Supporting them during these times require a pragmatic multilayered approach. Systemic changes, policies and frameworks, increased awareness, use of technology, and better access to health are necessary.

    Abstract Introduction: The COVID-19 pandemic has posed an unparalleled threat to all dimensions of human health and well-being. The Pan American Health Organization has acknowledged the crucial role of rehabilitation therapies for COVID-19 and emphasised the importance of exercise programmes for COVID-19 survivors. This scoping review outlines our strategy for systematically reviewing published and unpublished literature to investigate the volume of evidence for exercise interventions for COVID-19 survivors.
    Methods and analysis: This scoping review will be conducted based on the framework developed by Arksey and O'Malley. Six databases (PubMed/Medline, Scopus, Web of Science, Cochrane Central, ProQuest and CINAHL) will be searched in August 2022 and articles will be considered for inclusion published till July 2022. Studies will be screened by two independent reviewers at the title/abstract and full-text screening stages, as well as data extraction and critical assessment. Data will be extracted in a data extraction form and presented as figures and tables with narratives. This scoping review will give a thorough understanding of the current literature on exercise interventions for COVID-19 survivors, as well as identify knowledge gaps that will guide future research. Preliminary searches will be conducted after the publication of this scoping review protocol.
    Ethics and dissemination: No human or animal participants were involved in this review. Therefore, ethical committee approval is not required. Transparency will be followed at every review stage. Review findings will be disseminated through peer-review publications or through conference presentations.

    Abstract Introduction: Despite wide uptake in high-income countries (HICs), less is known about the effectiveness and implementation of psychological, social and cognitive interventions in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). Despite this, such interventions are increasingly used. The aim of this review was to appraise the effectiveness and implementation readiness of psychosocial interventions for people with dementia in LMICs.
    Methods: A systematic search of databases from 1998-2019. Studies were rated on two scales assessing quality and implementation readiness.
    Results: Seventeen articles describing 11 interventions in six countries were evaluated. Interventions included Cognitive Stimulation Therapy (CST), a Multidisciplinary Cognitive Rehabilitation Programme (MCRP), singing interventions, occupational therapy and reminiscence therapy. The quality of included studies was variable, and many had low sample sizes. Evidence for improving both cognition and quality of life was found in two interventions: Cognitive Stimulation Therapy (CST) and a Multidisciplinary Cognitive Rehabilitation Programme (MCRP). Implementation issues were more likely to be explored in studies of Cognitive Stimulation Therapy (CST) than in any other intervention.
    Conclusions: Of the included studies here, CST appears to be the most implementation ready, improving both cognition and quality of life with implementation readiness effectively explored in two LMIC countries: India and Tanzania.

    Abstract Objective: This study aims to culturally adapt, translate, and test the feasibility and acceptability of delivering cognitive stimulation therapy (CST) for persons with mild to moderate dementia in Chennai, India.
    Methods: The adaptation followed a five-stage process in accordance with the formative method for adapting psychotherapy. Focus-group discussions with experts and feedback from participants, carers, and facilitators after two consecutive pilot studies provided the basis for adaptation.
    Results: Substantial modifications were required. The adapted program was found to be an acceptable, enjoyable, and constructive by participants and carers alike.
    Conclusion: CST was successfully adapted for use in South India. Translations into other Indian languages using the adapted manual are required for nation-wide implementation. Large-scale clinical trials are required to replicate global reports on the efficacy and cost-effectiveness of CST in India across different settings.
