Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services for Children and Young People with Social Work Involvement: Referral decisions and later outcomes

  • Applicant: Barry Coughlan
  • Project ID: 23-048

Although many children and young people with social work involvement experience mental health difficulties, very little is known about their access to Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS). This research aims to provide an account of the sociodemographic and referral characteristics associated with accepted and rejected referrals in CAMHS and the longer term outcomes for these children and young people.

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.
