Results

Depression was the most examined mental health problem. The subgroup analysis of depression prevalence implied a possible deterioration of mental health. In addition to depression, mental health issues such as emotional/behavioural symptoms, anxiety, PTSD, attention ADHD, eating disorders, and substance use have been discussed. Although three studies addressed mental health and psychosocial interventions, none demonstrated efficacy.

Baseline Characteristics

Most of included studies had quantitative observational design (N = 48). Among them, five were conducted after the COVID-19 pandemic. Other observational studies conducted before the pandemic were summarised according to the categories of target population: general (N=24), refugees (N=16), and others (N=3). In addition, three interventional studies and two qualitative studies were included. Of the 48 quantitative observational studies, 42 and six had cross-sectional and longitudinal designs, respectively. Regarding the sampling methods, 22 of 48 used random sampling, whereas the others employed convenience sampling. The mental health issues identified in the literature included depression (N=21), emotional/behavioural symptoms (N=9), anxiety (N=8), post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD, N=6), attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD, N=3), eating disorders (N=3), substance use (N=3), and others (suicidality, internet addiction, social phobia, psychological stress, health, and wellbeing; N=8). The findings for each mental health issue are mentioned in the following sections.

Participant flow

Studies were included if 1) they reported primary research and 2) described or evaluated the mental health problems of the concerned population or described MHPSS interventions, and 3) written in English or Arabic. Quantitative studies were included to assess the prevalence of mental health problems and their associated factors. Qualitative studies were included to provide a salient cultural context. The exclusion criteria covered letters to the editor, commentaries, editorials, opinions, case reports, study protocols, measurement validation studies, and review articles. Basic experimental studies involving biomarkers and genes were also excluded.
