The majority of displaced populations are hosted in the global south, yet there is a paucity of evidence synthesis on the implementation of mental health and psychosocial support (MHPSS) programmes in those contexts. We undertook a systematic review of factors influencing the delivery and receipt of MHPSS programmes for displaced populations in low- and middle-income countries to address this gap. A comprehensive search of 12 bibliographic databases, 25 websites and citation checking were undertaken. Studies published in English from 2013 onwards were included if they contained evidence on the perspectives of adults or children who had engaged in, or programmes providers involved in delivering, MHPSS programmes. Fifteen studies were critically appraised and synthesised. Studies considered programme safety as a proxy for acceptability. Other acceptability themes included stigma, culture and gender. Barriers to the accessibility of MHPSS programmes included language, lack of literacy of programme recipients and location of services. To enhance success, future delivery of MHPSS programmes should address gender and cultural norms to limit mental health stigma. Attention should also be given to designing flexible programmes that take into consideration location and language barriers to ensure they maximise accessibility.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1017\/gmh.2024.56","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,5,6]],"date-time":"2024-05-06T05:58:56Z","timestamp":1714975136000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1017\/policypage","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":8,"title":["Mental health and psychosocial support programmes for displaced populations in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs): A systematic review of process, perspectives and experiences"],"prefix":"10.1017","volume":"11","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5058-9632","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Kelly","family":"Dickson","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sum Yue (Jessica)","family":"Ko","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Celine","family":"Nguyen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Dayana","family":"Minchenko","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8887-659X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mukdarut","family":"Bangpan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"56","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,5,6]]},"reference":[{"key":"S2054425124000566_r25","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1","DOI":"10.1186\/s12888-023-04827-4","article-title":"Understanding experiences of mental health help-seeking in Arab populations around the world: A systematic review and narrative synthesis","volume":"23","author":"Khatib","year":"2023","journal-title":"BMC Psychiatry"},{"key":"S2054425124000566_r20","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"50","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jad.2019.11.165","article-title":"Everyday life experiences and mental health among conflict-affected forced migrants: A meta-analysis","volume":"264","author":"Hou","year":"2020","journal-title":"Journal of Affective Disorders"},{"key":"S2054425124000566_r43","first-page":"CD013458","article-title":"An overview of systematic reviews on mental health promotion, prevention, and treatment of common mental disorders for refugees, asylum seekers, and internally displaced persons","volume":"9","author":"Uphoff","year":"2020","journal-title":"Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews"},{"key":"S2054425124000566_r9","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"279","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jad.2022.10.010","article-title":"Prevalence of common mental health disorders in forcibly displaced populations versus labor migrants by migration phase: A meta-analysis","volume":"321","author":"Carroll","year":"2023","journal-title":"Journal of Affective Disorders"},{"key":"S2054425124000566_r39","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1","DOI":"10.1186\/1471-2288-8-45","article-title":"Methods for the thematic synthesis of qualitative research in systematic reviews","volume":"8","author":"Thomas","year":"2008","journal-title":"BMC Medical Research Methodology"},{"key":"S2054425124000566_r26","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"114994","DOI":"10.1016\/j.socscimed.2022.114994","article-title":"Process evaluations of mental health and psychosocial support interventions for populations affected by humanitarian crises","volume":"303","author":"Massazza","year":"2022","journal-title":"Social Science and Medicine"},{"key":"S2054425124000566_r23","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1","DOI":"10.1186\/s13033-021-00501-y","article-title":"How does context influence the delivery of mental health interventions for asylum seekers and refugees in low-and middle-income countries?
