Mental health service use, religious beliefs, and faith communities – an examination of electronic health records from child and adolescent mental health services

  • Applicant: Alice Wickersham
  • Project ID: 23-108

Little is known about the role that religion and faith communities play when people are accessing secondary mental health services. This mixed methods project will explore how patients accessing Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS) discuss their religion in the context of their mental health, and associations between religion, sociodemographic and clinical features.
