Ascertaining clinical trajectories in CRIS

Mental health outcomes in CRIS research tend to rely on those which can be obtained from structured information (e.g. service contact, hospitalisation, discharge) – these under-represent the extensive amount of information in text fields where symptoms are described as getting better or worse. This study will develop techniques to allow these statements to be automatically detected across CRIS, enhancing the range and scope of research studies using this resource.
