TL;DR: This project is the first to examine a common elements approach (CETA: defined as flexible delivery of elements, order, and dosing) with children and caregivers in a low-resource setting with delivery by lay providers and results were positive toward the acceptability and appropriateness of treatment, and its feasibility.

TL;DR: Recommendations for interventions that demonstrate effectiveness in treating survivors of torture and other systematic violence who suffer from PTSD, depression and anxiety are included.

TL;DR: Group cognitive-behavioral based therapies may be an effective stigma reduction tool for survivors of sexual violence and moderators of CPT on mental health symptoms or functional impairment.

TL;DR: Key future research questions include: whether promising initial evidence on the effects of depression interventions on reducing IPV hold more broadly, the required intensity of mental health components in integrated interventions, and the identification of mechanisms of IPV that are amenable to mental health intervention.
