Some country examples: • In Australia, researchers found that two thirds of homeless people develop substance abuse problems, and more than half develop mental health conditions after losing stable housing. 170 • In South Africa, a study showed that 44% of people living with HIV have a diagnosable mental health condition, whereas the prevalence of mental health conditions in the general population is only 17%. 171 • Also in South Africa, researchers found that children orphaned due to AIDS have significantly higher rates of depression, posttraumatic stress disorder, and suicidal ideation than non-orphaned children. 172 • In a WHO multi-country study women who had experienced physical or sexual violence or both by an intimate partner reported higher levels of emotional distress than other women and were more likely to attempt suicide. 173 The implications are clear. Development strategies and plans need to reach people with mental health conditions, as well as address the mental health needs of other vulnerable groups that are already targeted. The general principles and recommended interventions in the following section provide guidance for achieving this aim. 3.Othervulnerablegroupshavehighratesofmentalhealthconditions 31
