 This thesis aims to understand mental health treatment disparities in
  low-resource settings and to provide evidence on scalable and access
 ible psychological interventions that can be widely disseminated acro
 ss diverse contexts. It consists of findings from a series of meta-an
 alyses focusing on the effectiveness and dropout risks of self-guided
  and internet-based psychological interventions for depression, with 
 the goal of informing the optimal allocation of human resources, part
 icularly for individuals residing in low-resource settings. Further, 
 it seeks to improve treatment effectiveness by examining individual-l
 evel differences in response to internet-based depression interventio
 ns, offering precise insights into factors associated with participan
 t outcomes.</p><p>More information on the <a href="https://hdl.handle
