Abstract
Although 9 of 10 of the world's children live in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), and children constitute nearly half of the populations of these countries, far too little research has focused on child mental health in LMICs.1 The expansion of research in global health and global mental health over the past several decades has not yet been matched by new research in child and adolescent mental health in LMICs.2 It is time for that to change. New research should include a focus on social drivers and the mechanisms by which they contribute to mental illnesses.
