Manifestation, causes and approach to mental distress among the population of migrant and refugee women in Ecuador and Panama: a qualitative study with key informants
This study represents a first step to improve current strategies for the prevention and care of mental distress in the population of migrant women in LAC. Evidence-based interventions such as the one in our study can contribute to reducing inequities based on gender and migration status in mental health and access to mental health services in the region.
