The third paper in The Lancet Series on Global Mental Health examines mental health and psychosocial support (MHPSS) in humanitarian settings, and points out that most research and evidence is focused on interventions that are infrequently applied, while the most commonly used interventions have had little rigorous scrutiny. The paper is by Dr Wietse Tol, Global Health Initiative, MacMillan Center, Yale University, New Haven, CT, USA, and colleagues.
