Getanda EM, et al. – The purposes of this study were to investigate community stakeholders’ views on children's mental health needs and culturally acceptable interventions in Kenya as well as to ascertain how to integrate global service standards with culturally–specific expectations. The authors suggested that stakeholders’ views were important in informing the planning, delivery and evaluation of interventions. However, for such interventions to be sustained, a clear therapeutic framework, evidence–based and sociocultural adaptation were likely to be important factors.
