BMC Public Health, 2025
BACKGROUND: Transgender people are more likely to experience heightened risks of physical and psychological distress and tend to report a poorer quality of life compared to the general population. This study aimed to determine the quality of life and self-esteem, health-seeking behaviour, and to explore the lived experiences among transgender women. METHODS: Using the snowball sampling technique, 73 transgender women were included in this mixed-methods study. Quantitative data were collected through the Short-Form-12 (SF-12) and the Rosenberg Self-esteem Scale (RSES). Maximum variation sampling was employed to select 10 participants for the qualitative component, aiming to gain in-depth insights into their personal experiences and health-seeking behaviours. Appropriate descriptive and inferential statistics were applied for analysis. A thematic analysis approach was used to represent qualitative findings. RESULTS: The mean age of the participants was 30.93 (SD = 4.70) years. Findings revealed that participants had poor mental (Mean µ = 38.80) and physical (Mean µ = 38.08) health. The cohort demonstrated a notably high level of self-esteem (Mean µ = 30.93 ± 4.70). A substantial proportion (76.7%) of participants experienced discrimination or mistreatment while seeking healthcare services, stating unfavorable experiences (19.2%) and strongly unsatisfied (5.5%), whereas more than half (56.2%) avoided giving any opinions. From the qualitative analysis, three major themes emerge: discovering my true identity as transgender person, survival in a world of discrimination, violence, and trauma, and struggle with economic, professional, and legal challenges. CONCLUSIONS: In our study, participants reported lower mental and physical health, experienced discrimination, and had negative perceptions while accessing health services. The study carries important implications for the development of inclusive and high-quality healthcare services to ensure transgender people's access to and utilization of healthcare.
Development, and pilot study of a single-session ‘Intervention for Caregiver Affiliate stigma REduction’ (i-CARE) in a tertiary care specialty psychiatry setting in North India for severe mental illnesses
Tanve Garg, Vishal Dhiman, Anindya Das, Naveen Grover
Indian Journal of Psychiatry, 2025
Background: Affiliate stigma (AS) is self-stigma in caregivers, having three salient components: affective, behavioral, and cognitive. High caregiver AS causes concealment of mental illness and has negative consequences. Appropriate intervention for AS can offset such consequences. Aim: To develop a pragmatic, affordable, and tentatively effective mental health intervention that targets AS. Methods: We formulated Intervention for Caregiver Affiliate stigma REduction (i-CARE) after the thorough literature review, mental health expert and caregiver feedback (for face validation), and a pilot study (for feasibility and preliminary effectiveness). Throughout, the focus was on simplicity (single session of 25 min), feasibility, and applicability across different settings (outpatient, inpatient, online) and modalities (face-to-face/direct intervention, video consultation/remote intervention) suitable for the North Indian cultural context. It incorporated anti-stigma components of psychoeducational and contact-based intervention. The study was registered at CTRI (2022/01/039333). Results: i-CARE took about 4 months to develop. Expert suggestions, such as issues of medication adherence, functional recovery, and most importantly, an individualized session of doubt clarification, were included. The caregivers assessed the clarity, comprehension, and usefulness of the intervention. The final components included introductory interaction, multimedia-based audio-visual content, printed IEC material, and a one-to-one clarification session. We used lived caregiving experience through audio-visual content to target contact-based anti-stigma approaches, psychoeducational approaches through multimedia and flyers, and personalized sessions for individualized approaches. Pilot testing of i-CARE suggested its feasibility in administration and effectiveness in the immediate post intervention period. Conclusion: We developed and validated i-CARE through an iterative process, keeping pragmatics and cultural contextuality in mind. We plan to test its efficacy in a robustly designed study.
A comparative health system analysis of selected states of India: Implications for global mental health practice
Anindya Das
Indian Journal of Psychiatry, 2025
The population of some Indian states is equivalent to that of many low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). Due to India’s federal administration system, states manage their health services independently, and their unique social, economic, and governance circumstances influence their development trajectories. The current practice of Global Mental Health is to scale up evidence-based interventions. In this research, scaling up is defined as the development of the mental health (MH) service system, which, in turn, is considered an organic part of health service systems strengthening within the enduring ethos of the Alma Ata Declaration and Sustainable Developmental Goals. The current analysis uses a comparative health system lens to explore the status of MH services in selected states of India with the development of the health system. The authors tentatively conclude that for India and similar LMICs, the advancement of the MH system/services is best addressed through health system development utilizing principles of Primary Health Care.

Implementation of substance use screening and brief intervention model at primary healthcare level of Uttarakhand
Vishal Dhiman, Anindya Das, Siddharth Sarkar, Yatan Pal Singh Balhara
Indian Journal of Psychiatry, 2025
As per the Magnitude of Substance Use in India report (2019),[1] 14.6% of the Indian population uses alcohol, followed by opioids (2.1%), and cannabis (2%). The burden of drug use in the state of Uttarakhand (UK) is on the higher side. The prevalence was found to be the highest (18.8%) for alcohol use, followed by 3.38% for cannabis and 2.58% for opioids. There is a huge treatment gap for substance use disorders in India.[2] This gap can potentially be bridged by capacity building of mid-level healthcare providers (MHLPs) who are trained in screening and management based on the Screening, Brief Intervention, and Referral to Treatment (SBIRT) framework.[3] This model framework is evidence-based, scalable, and applicable across varied settings like hospitals, schools, and the community. As per recommendations of the National Health Policy (2017), there has been an initiative to establish Health and Wellness Centers (HWCs) to deliver Comprehensive Primary Health Care.[4] A 6-month certificate program in community health has been developed for qualified Nurses or Ayurveda practitioners to work as Community Health Officers (CHOs).[4] Uttarakhand has expanded its workforce successfully through this bridge initiative. CHOs conduct risk assessments of non-communicable diseases (NCDs) but use only two items on current use of alcohol and tobacco for such an assessment. As part of the National Mental Health Program and with financial support from the Nation Health Mission (NHM) Uttarakhand, we have initiated a Cascade Training Technique or Training-the-Trainer model to instill the SBIRT skills to CHOs. It consisted of Phase-I: Development of modules/study material by the investigators based on available World Health Organization (WHO) material and screening for substance use using Alcohol Smoking and Substance Involvement Screening Test (ASSIST),[5] followed by 2-days Short-term onsite practical (STOP) training for State-nominated Block Medical officers (BMOs) as Master Trainers (on SBIRT framework) conducted at a tertiary-care teaching hospital (with pre-post knowledge assessment being done); Phase-II: the Master Trainers conduct a 1-day workshop for CHOs in their respective districts (We provided soft-copy training material to the master trainers so that they could use and get it printed as per their needs.); and Phase-III of Continuity of Care, where continued support for those selected BMOs/CHOs at their workplace at regular intervals is provided through the virtual platform. STOP training for 03 batches for BMOs from 09 districts has been completed. The master trainers in many districts have also completed Phase-II workshops for CHOs. The intended locus is the clinical setting where NCDs assessment is done, including in the community and outpatient clinical setting. Online monitoring and handholding are to be done subsequently and will include field visits. The SBI/SBIRT model implementation in the State of Uttarakhand, supported by NHM, is a modest start in developing a stepped-care approach to strengthen universal primary health care and may be replicated elsewhere. The recent Tilak Venkoba Rao Oration Award paper also advocates the adoption of SBI as a public health tool in India to bridge the mental healthcare gap.[6] We acknowledge that our SBIRT approach has yet to be evaluated for on-the-ground ‘take-up’ and inculcation into the routine practice by CHOs, but it shows promise as an implementable model.

Movement for Global Mental Health Critical Views from South and Southeast Asia, 2025
We critically engage with the Movement for Global Mental Health (MGMH) through the lens of the Social Determinants of Health (SDH), suitably widened. We explore the socio-political context of Indian community mental health initiatives in order to elaborate the opportunities/impediments for a public programme. We critique the MGMH for being preoccupied with the burden of mental illness and its “treatment”, while being inattentive to the social, economic, and political contexts shaping local/global ecologies of well-being/suffering. Hence the economic arguments of the MGMH fail to examine the realities of local contexts (poor public health funding and primary health care, lax pharmaceutical regulations, asymmetric power relations and indigenous knowledge systems). Using the concepts of globalisation and global health, and taking a population perspective, we describe a neo-materialistic version of SDH.
