It was founded in 1934 by the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai as the Mount Sinai Journal of Medicine. It is a partner journal of the Consortium of Universities for Global Health. Authors of articles accepted for publication in Annals of Global Health will be asked to pay an Article Publication Charge (APC) to cover publication costs. This charge can normally be sourced from your funder or institution. We are committed to supporting authors from all countries to publish their work in Annals of Global Health regardless of national income level, and to achieve this goal, we waive the Article Publication Charge for manuscripts where all authors are from low-income or lower-middle-income countries (as defined by the World Bank). From time to time, Annals of Global Health publishes Special Collections, a series of articles organized around a common theme in global health. Recent Special Collections have included “Strengthening Women’s Leadership in Global Health”, “Decolonizing Global Health Education”, and “Capacity Building for Global Health Leadership Training”. Global health workers interested in developing a Special Collection are strongly encouraged to contact the Managing Editor in advance to discuss the project.

Summary
The World Health Organization predicts that by 2030 road traffic injuries will be the fifth leading cause of death and the third leading cause of disease burden worldwide. The gap between need and access to mental health care is widest in low-resource settings. Health systems in these settings devote few resources to the expansion of mental health care, and mental health is missing from the agenda of most global health donors. This is partially explained by the paucity of data regarding the nature and extent of the burden of mental illness in these settings. The accurate and comparable measurement of this burden will be essential to advocating for, developing, and implementing appropriate policies and services for mental health in low-resource settings. This study surveys the unique challenges associated with measurement of mental health in these settings globally, and proposes a framework for use by future implementers
