Field story / Greater Accra & Oti

The first conversation.
The next question.

What two youth mental health outreaches tell us about screening—and what we still need to understand about reaching care.

Students participating in a Snuggli Health outreach in Ghana

The activity

Three numbers. Three different meanings.

01209

young people registered

People registered through the outreach settings—not a count of completed screenings.

02105

full clinical screenings

Full clinical screenings recorded within the registered cohort.

0370

referral flags recorded

Recorded flags for potential onward assessment—not confirmed diagnoses or attended appointments.

Reading the findings

Screening opens a door.
Follow-up asks what
happened beyond it.

These outreach records help frame the next evaluation questions. They do not establish clinical improvement or the effectiveness of Snuggli or Sentra.

THE SETTING

Two local outreaches

Activity in Greater Accra and Oti between 28 May and 25 June 2026. Participants were not a representative sample of Ghana’s young people.

THE FINDING

A need for further assessment

The report records 70 referral flags. A flag identifies a possible next step; it does not show whether a receiving service accepted the referral.

THE NEXT QUESTION

What makes reaching care possible?

Future evaluation can examine acceptance, attendance, time to action and barriers to follow-up, with appropriate consent and approvals.
