“…The Anderson and Newman Model (1960) describes three predicting factors that can influence the use of health services, including mental health services. These factors are the predisposing, enabling, and need factors . The predisposing factors which position individuals to have more propensity to use health services, are grouped into demographics (age and sex), social structure (education, occupation, ethnicity, social networks and social interactions, and culture), and attitudinal or belief systems (attitudes, values and individuals knowledge concerning the health care systems) .…”

Purpose To explore factors influencing treatment pathways to mental health services among consumers in Ghana. Design and Methods Cross‐sectional design using quantitative method. Findings Treatment pathways for mental illness were general hospitals/clinics, psychiatric hospitals, and faith‐based practices. The predisposing (age, household size, primary occupation, ethnicity, marital status, religion, and geographic location, as well as attitudes and beliefs), enabling (affordability), and need factors (severity of mental illness) were significant predictors of treatment pathways. Practice Implications Current advocacy and awareness for mental health services in Ghana should consider the predisposing, enabling, and need factors of consumers. Policy initiatives on mental health services should ensure adequate financing mechanisms and further establish collaboration between biomedical and faith‐based services.

aggregated data would have reduced precision. Including more publications per trial is essentially a grave meta-analytical flaw 6 (section 7.2.2) because identical or overlapping samples risk being counted more than once, distorting estimates and artificially reducing heterogeneity.We are puzzled by the assertion that only P values were reported when comparing design types, as Table 1 also included heterogeneity and 95% CIs for each outcome considered, for each design type. 1 No effect size was left unaccompanied by 95% CIs and heterogeneity estimates.We reported modest benefits of psychotherapies for borderline personality, unstable at follow-up, and further distorted by trial RoB and publication bias. We meticulously examined many potential caveats both in our meta-analysis and in the included trials. If this assessment is optimistic, we fear our own notion of optimism is greatly divergent.
