Extraction of information related to financial situation and subjective financial strain from free text mental health records

  • Applicant: Angus Roberts
  • Project ID: 21-024

Socioeconomic status and information about subjective financial strain can be important variables linked to mental health issues: if and how this type of information is documented in clinical encounters is an understudied area. This project will attempt to extract information related to patient-reported financial burdens, as documented by clinicians in the free text of the electronic health record, and the impact of this on their mental health.

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.
