Household stressors and mental health service use in Southeast London

  • Applicant: Vishal Bhavsar
  • Project ID: 22-086

Most studies of NHS mental health care inequalities in the UK focus only on characteristics of service users, i.e. there is limited/no information on local context. This is an important limitation to trying to understand mental health inequalities in areas with high levels of diversity and socioeconomic disadvantage. This study will re-use the linkage of CRIS with individual data from the South East London Community Health (SELCoH) study, collected in 2008-2010 to look at what factors shape patterns of mental health care access and treatment receipt.

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.
