Research Agenda
To maximize the capacity for effective knowledge translation and innovation for mental health care in resource-scarce countries, action research initiatives must engage with local priorities and perspectives.

The GMHP research agenda places particular emphasis on the wider molar context in which mental health problems arise, are experienced, interpreted and cared for, which is reflected in research on the social, cultural, environmental and economic determinants of mental health and illness.

- Participatory action research
- Building collaboration and partnerships with local communities
- Cultural adaptation of research tools and scales
- Culturally sensitive implementation science
- Investigating the social determinants of mental health
- Critical investigation of the production of 鈥榚vidence鈥� in mental health
