Improving Mental Health Care: The Global Challenge
No full textWhat types of mental health care are right for the 21st century-in all countries, around the world? What is the best balance of primary care and specialist mental health care for people with mental illness? What is the best evidence for effective treatments and services? Which methods are most suitable for answering these questions? These are the tough issues addressed by this book. Leading experts from across the world bring their experience to bear in a series of chapters that set out the very best evidence in this field. They present clear accounts of what is known, extensively referenced, with critical appraisals of the strength of the evidence and the robustness of the conclusions that can be drawn. This book was inspired by the work of Michele Tansella on the development of community care globally. It comprises four sections, identifying the challenges associated with providing mental health services in high-, middle- and low-income countries, then describing ways to meet these c..
Are social deprivation and psychiatric service utilisation associated in neurotic disorders? A case register study in South Verona.
No full textMeasures of service utilisation from the South Verona psychiatric case register in North-East Italy for the years 1983, 1986 and 1989 were used to identify possible associations with sociodemographic variables from the 1981 census for neurotic disorders. There were no consistent patterns of associations between local social and demographic predictors and rates of psychiatric service utilisation. This contrasts markedly with the associations found previously in England (for all psychiatric admissions) and in Italy (for various measures of service utilisation concerning contacts both in and outside hospital for schizophrenic as well as for all psychiatric patients) where social deprivation factors proved to be strong predictors of service use
Fair assessment of the merits of psychiatric research.
No full textUse of bibliometric assessments of research quality is growing worldwide. So far, a narrow range of metrics have been applied across the whole of biomedical research. Without specific sets of metrics, appropriate to each sub-field of research, biased assessments of research excellence are possible.To discuss the measures used to evaluate the merits of psychiatric biomedical research, and to propose a new approach using a multidimensional selection of metrics appropriate to each particular field of medical research.Three steps: (a) a definition of scientific 'domains', (b) translating these into 'filters' to identify publications from bibliometric databases, leading to (c) the creation of standardised measures of merit.We propose using: (a) established metrics such as impact factors and citation indices, (b) new derived measures such as the 'worldscale' score, and (c) new indicators based on journal peer esteem, impact on clinical practice, medical education and health policy.No single index or metric can be used as a fair rating to compare nations, universities, research groups, or individual investigators across biomedical science. Rather, we propose using a multidimensional profile composed of a carefully selected array of such metrics
