Evaluation of vitamin D prophylaxis during COVID-19 pandemic for adult mental health in-patients

  • Applicant: Fiona Gaughran
  • Project ID: 20-032

Having enough vitamin D appears to reduce your risk of getting respiratory infections, but people with severe mental illness have very low levels of vitamin D. SLaM is offering top-up vitamin D supplementation to all adult inpatients so we would like to use CRIS to see whether this offer was taken up and whether there was any link to health outcomes.

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.
