The NAMASTE team have published an article in a Special Issue of Mental Health and Prevention (Elsevier). 

The article describes the co-design of the NAMASTE community engagement toolkit. It highlights work conducted in 2022-23 as part of the NIHR-funded NAMASTE programme.

Through participatory research with caregivers, health workers, and autistic individuals, we developed a multi-media toolkit to support caregiver engagement with a community-based screening and care pathway for neurodevelopmental delays and disabilities across India, Nepal, and Sri Lanka. Toolkit components are available in the supplementary materials linked in the article.
