Mental Health Atlas 2005

By: World Health Organization. Department of Mental Health and Substance Abuse,World Health Organization. Mental Health Evidence and Research Team

This atlas is aimed at collecting, compiling and desseminating information on mental health resources in the world. It presents updated and expanded information from 192 countries with analyses of global and regional trends as well as individual country profiles. Newly included in this volume is a section on epidemiology within the profiles of all low and middle income countries. It shows that mental health resources within most countries remain inadequate despite modest improvments since 2001. Availability of mental health resources across countries and between regions remains substantially uneven, with many countries having few resources. The atlas reinforces the urgent need to enhance mental health resources within countries.

Mental health of children and young people

service guidance

By: World Health Organization,United Nations Children's Fund

Mental health conditions are prevalent and often develop early in life. Yet very few of the world’s children and young people receive the mental health services they need. There is no single best model for organizing mental health services that applies to all contexts. But every country, no matter its resource constraints, can take steps to improve the design and strengthen the delivery of mental health services for children and young people This document is designed to inform and inspire policy makers and others responsible for mental health services for children and young people, through introducing key issues to consider, important domains for standards of mental health care and by sharing a broad range of good practice approaches to developing or re-orienting services at community level.

Alcohol, Gender and Drinking Problems

Perspectives from Low and Middle Income Countries

By: Robin Room,World Health Organization. Dept. of Mental Health and Substance Abuse

This book is the product of a multinational research project on "Gender, Alcohol and Culture: an International Study" (GENACIS). GENACIS is a major collaborative effort to highlight the relationship between gender and alcohol issues, seek greater understanding of male and female differences in patterns of drinking and alcohol problems, and assess the public health implications of drinking by men and women. Each of the eight country-specific chapters in this volume (Argentina, Brazil, Costa Rica, India, Mexico, Nigeria, Sri Lanka, Uganda) consists of a review of alcohol and alcohol policy in the country and an analysis of social and health problems associated with drinking. For several of the countries, this is the first systematic attempt to provide a broad insight into gender issues and how they relate to alcohol problems. In an era of growing consumption and increasing burden of alcohol-related problems in many developing countries, the findings reported in this book and the GENACIS project in general, are a major step forward in the understanding of the role of gender in alcohol behaviours.
