Quantifying the under-diagnosis of mental health conditions in young people

  • Applicant: Stephanie Lewis
  • Project ID: 17-027

There is concern that many young people with mental health conditions are not identified by clinical services, and therefore do not have access to effective treatment; however, the extent of this problem is not well understood. This project will compare data from clinical and community samples to quantify the under-diagnosis of mental health conditions in young people, in order to inform improved service planning for young people with mental health conditions.

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.
