dc.description.abstractBackground: Most environmental research on mental health originates from high-income countries, and information about the rest of the world is very limited. The impact of the environment on mental health can vary depending on socio-cultural contexts. Still, very few studies have explored the association between neighborhood deprivation and mental health in Low and Middle-Income Countries (LMICs). We intend to conduct our exploration of such an association by using a scoping review approach. Objectives: We will address the following broad questions: 1) what does published research in LMIC countries tell us about the evidence regarding the association between neighborhood-level deprivation and indicators of mental health and illness? 2) What are the proposed mechanisms explaining any observed association in LMICs? 3) What are the gaps in research in the LMIC settings that should be approached in future research? Methods: The following stages will be completed: First, we will systematically search for relevant primary studies in electronic databases (Ovid Medline, Scopus, Socindex, Policy Commons, and PsycINFO), citations in the reference lists, and by contacting existing networks and researchers. Then, a two-stage screening procedure will be employed to select the relevant studies. First, we will screen the titles and abstracts and then review the selected full text by two independent researchers. After charting the data from the selected study reports, we will collate, summarize, report, and discuss the results.en_US
