Exploring associations between patient reported housing problems, information on local housing stock, and mental health

  • Applicant: Angus Roberts
  • Project ID: 19-117

The urban environment is know to have a negative impact on mental health. This project aims to extract indicators of patient reported housing problems from the free text of electronic health records (EHRs), and to look for links between these problems and measures of housing type and quality derived from datasets describing the urban environment.

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.
