The burden of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in low- and middle-income countries (LMIC) is high. In addition to trauma type and sociodemographic correlates, cultural and social drivers of the disorder are critical to consider in diagnosis and treatment provision. Sociocultural factors may underpin the cognitive and affective neural mechanisms of

Challenges in Low- and Middle-Income Countries

2020
Although the vast majority of traumatic brain injury (TBI) research has been done in high-income countries (HICs), the burden of TBI is much higher in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). This is a problem, because there is no evidence to guide us about how to treat patients when the resources for emergency care, imaging and neurosurgical ...
