Ethnic disparities in mental health problems in New Caledonia and French Polynesia.

Advanced practice nurses constitute a new professional group within the French health care system. Advanced practice nurses specialise in one of five disciplines including Psychiatry/Mental-Health.

Attitudes of Children, Adolescents, and Their Parents Toward Digital Health Interventions: Scoping Review.

Social Representations of e-Mental Health Among the Actors of the Health Care System: Free-Association Study.

Background: Electronic mental (e-mental) health offers an opportunity to overcome many challenges such as cost, accessibility, and the stigma associated with mental health, and most people with lived experiences of mental problems are in favor of using applications and websites to manage their mental health problems.

It affects a significant proportion of the general population worldwide, but the estimated prevalences in different countries are difficult to compare due to the use of heterogeneous methodologies. The objectives of the study were to compare the prevalence of insomnia in the general population in different sites around the world and to identify sociodemographic and mental health associated factors, using the same tool and within a single study.
