  • Discourse analysis of research records and dissemination materials.
  • Examination of social, political, and economic influences on international research outcomes.
  • Critical evaluation of long-term research collaborations and their cultural impact.

    • Main Results:

    • Discourse analysis indicated a tendency to construct narratives preserving Western superiority and Third World inferiority.
    • Socio-political and economic factors demonstrably shaped the outcomes and perceptions of the IPSS.
    • The study's dissemination discourse may have perpetuated harmful stereotypes in global mental health.

    Conclusions:

    • The IPSS's legacy is complex, influenced by the socio-political context of its dissemination.
    • Critical analysis of research discourse is crucial for understanding and rectifying historical inequities in global mental health.
    • Future international research collaborations must actively challenge and dismantle practices that foster inequity to advance global mental health care and knowledge.
