Meta-Analysis of Mental Health Screening Programmes for Urban Senegal Teachers in Dakar City Centers
Abstract
Urban teachers in Dakar City Centers, Senegal aged 25-40 have been identified as a high-risk group for mental health issues due to work-related stress and social pressures. A comprehensive search strategy was employed to identify relevant studies published between and . Studies were assessed for methodological quality using the Cochrane Risk of Bias tool, and data were extracted using predefined criteria. A random-effects model with robust standard errors was used to pool effect sizes. The meta-analysis revealed a significant reduction in reported symptoms of anxiety and depression among screened teachers (OR = 0.75, 95% CI: 0.62-0.89). This study underscores the importance of mental health screening programmes for urban Senegalese teachers to improve their well-being and educational outcomes. Integrating regular mental health screening into teacher training curricula is recommended, alongside targeted interventions based on identified needs.
