Our innovation addresses refugee youth mental health in urban humanitarian settings. Our research with urban refugee youth in Kampala, Uganda, found that 74% of young girls and 49% of young boys aged 16-24 reported depression symptoms. Knowledge gaps with refugee youth mental health include a) scalable, sustainable mental health literacy tools; b) digital tools; and c) stigma reduction. We address mental health literacy with urban refugee youth living in informal settlements in Kampala, Uganda.
