Numbers and characteristics of untreated help-seekers in addictions services

  • Applicant: Sadie Boniface
  • Project ID: 18-124

We know anecdotally that some clients seeking help from drug and alcohol services don’t come back after their first visit. This project will use CRIS to identify how commonly this happens, and will compare health problems in this group with the treatment-engaged population using mental health treatment records, hospital admissions and mortality data.

The Clinical Record Interactive Search (CRIS) system is a computer system that allows researchers at the NIHR Maudsley Biomedical Research Centre (BRC) to carry out research using information from South London and Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust clinical records.
