Searching for people with psychosis in the global south: mapping and establishing a case surveillance system in South Africa (PSYMAP-ZN study)
Expanding the global knowledge base on psychosis to diverse settings in the Global South requires a surveillance and case-detection method that includes (in addition to formal health settings) informal settings and local key informant knowledge in the community. This preliminary 'mapping' process established a platform for the ongoing PSYMAP study of untreated psychosis in South Africa.
