Collaborations among researchers, clinicians, and individuals with mental illness from high-income countries (HICs) and low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) are crucial to produce research, interventions, and policies that are relevant, feasible, and ethical. However, global mental health and cultural psychiatry research publications have been dominated by HIC investigators.
The aim of this review was to present recommendations for collaborative writing with a focus on early career investigators researchers in HICs and LMICs.
A workshop was conducted with HIC and LMIC investigators in Nepal to discuss lessons learned for collaborative writing. The researchers had experience in cross-cultural psychiatric epidemiology, health services research, randomized controlled trials, and projects with war and disaster-affected populations in complex humanitarian emergencies including child soldiers and refugees. Additional lessons learned were contributed from researchers engaged in similar collaborations in Haiti.
A step-by-step process for collaborative writing was developed.
HIC and LMIC writing collaborations will encourage accurate, ethical, and contextually grounded publications to foster understanding and facilitate reduction of the global burden of mental illness.
来自高收入国家（HIC）和中低收入国家（LMIC）的研究人员、临床医生和精神疾病患者之间的合作对于产生相关、可行和符合伦理的研究、干预措施和政策至关重要。然而，全球心理健康和文化精神病学研究出版物主要由 HIC 调查人员主导。
本综述旨在提出合作写作的建议，重点是 HIC 和 LMIC 的初露头角的研究人员。
在尼泊尔与 HIC 和 LMIC 的调查人员进行了一次研讨会，讨论了合作写作的经验教训。这些研究人员在跨文化精神病流行病学、卫生服务研究、随机对照试验以及在复杂的人道主义紧急情况下与受战争和灾害影响的人群合作方面具有经验，包括儿童兵和难民。来自在海地从事类似合作的研究人员提供了其他经验教训。
制定了合作写作的分步流程。
HIC 和 LMIC 的写作合作将鼓励准确、符合伦理和具有背景依据的出版物，以促进理解并促进减轻全球精神疾病负担。
