Introduction
The aim of these profiles is to support an intelligence driven approach to understanding severe mental illness. It is for:
- commissioners
- service providers
- clinicians
- service users and their families
Users can benchmark their area against England, region or similar populations.
The tool collates and analyses a wide range of data on:
- prevalence
- prevention
- early intervention
- assessment
- treatment
- outcomes
- inequality
This range of data provides commissioners, service providers, clinicians, services users and their families with the means to profile areas and benchmark against similar populations.
The data comes from different sources and may vary by time period, population and presentation of values. Interpretation of data should be done carefully. Detailed meta data and any caveats are set out in the definitions section.
