The Mental Health and Wellbeing Joint Strategic Needs Assessment (JSNA) profile is an important component of the Mental Health and Wellbeing JSNA toolkit.
The Mental Health and Wellbeing JSNA toolkit comprises the profile and the Knowledge Guide for Mental Health and Wellbeing JSNAs - offering expert advice and links to policy, evidence and additional data sources (published August 2017).
The toolkit should be used in conjunction with the return on investment resources to support local commissioners in designing and implementing mental health and wellbeing support services:
Mental health services: cost-effective commissioning
The profile's (and wider toolkit's) purpose is to support Health and Wellbeing Boards and others interested in producing local mental health and wellbeing JSNAs by providing access to metrics on prevalence, risk and protective factors, care provision (both activity volumes and quality and outcome metrics). These metrics can be used to benchmark to meaningful comparison groups. The profile contains data at a lower organisational / geographical level - GP practice and ward - to enable comparison within as well as between local areas.
The profile is a gateway to the other Mental Health profiles. More detail on specific conditions and client groups can be found in those.
It includes indicators at local authority (county, unitary and district), CCG, STP, GP and ward levels. Not all indicators are available at all levels.
Data are drawn from many sources and vary by time period, population and presentation of values. Care should be taken with interpretation. Detailed meta data and any caveats are set out in the Definitions section.
Metrics are organised across six domains:
