Psychosocial interventions targeting the Brazilian Black population’s mental health: a scoping review protocol (Preprint)
Year: 2025
Type: preprint
Abstract: BACKGROUND Objective: To map the available evidence on psychosocial interventions (PIs) targeting the Brazilian Black population's mental health. Introduction: Black population (BP) is proportionally more institutionalized in psychiatric hospitals, and is historically more associated with “madness”, dangerousness, and racial inferiority. PIs targeting the Black population's mental health can potentially enhance professional practices by addressing this group's specific needs. Inclusion criteria: Participants: Brazilian BP; concept: PIs targeting the Black population's mental health; context: Whole Brazilian country. Therefore, studies addressing PIs targeting the Brazilian BP, including the “Quilombola” community's mental health, will be considered as inclusion criteria. Studies addressing black immigrants and refugees in Brazilian territory will be excluded. Methods: This scoping review (SR) will follow the JBI methodology guidelines, and adheres to the PRISMA Extension for Scoping Reviews (PRISMA-ScR): Checklist and Explanation. Search Strategy: A focused search will be conducted in MEDLINE (PubMed), Psycinfo (APA) CINAHL (EBSCOhost), Embase, Scopus (ELSEVIER), CINAHL (EBSCO), APA (PsycInfo), Embase and the Virtual Health Library (BVS). There will be no restriction regarding the language or date of publication of the studies. Study Selection: Citations will be managed in Zotero, and Rayyan will be used to organize the screening. Two independent reviewers will screen titles and abstracts for eligibility. Disagreements will be resolved through discussion or consultation with a third reviewer. Data Extraction: Two independent reviewers will extract data using a custom tool. Data Analysis and Presentation: Results will be summarized narratively and presented in tables and charts.
