Spatial Patterning of Common Mental Disorder Diagnosis and Service Use in South East London

  • Applicant: Catherine Polling
  • Project ID: 11-052

This study aims to to identify whether the prevalence of service use for common mental disorder varies across Lambeth, Southwark, Lewisham and Croydon, whether there is variation to determine the geographical scale at which clustering occurs, whether variations in prevalence are associated with neighbourhood characteristics both compositional and contextual, and whether these associations persist when individual factors are controlled for.
