Access And Quality

In this article we have provided a perspective on the importance and value of youth mental health services for society and argued that advancing youth mental health services should be the number one priority of health services in Canada. Using the age period of 12–25 years for defining youth, we have provided justification for our position based on scientific evidence derived from clinical, epidemiological and neurodevelopmental studies. We have highlighted the early onset of most mental disorders and substance abuse as well as their persistence into later adulthood, the long delays experienced by most help seekers and the consequence of such delays for young people and for society in general. We have also provided a brief review of the current gross inadequacies in access and quality of care available in Canada. We have argued for the need for a different conceptual framework of youth mental disorders as well as for a transformation of the way services are provided in order not only to reduce the unmet needs but also to allow a more meaningful exploration of the nature of such problems presenting in youth and the best way to treat them. We have offered some ideas based on previous work completed in this field as well as current initiatives in Canada and elsewhere. Any transformation of youth mental health services in Canada must take into consideration the significant geographic, cultural and political diversity across the provinces, territories and indigenous peoples across this country.

Before And After

Aims and MethodTo investigate the effectiveness of the Women's Service crisis house in Croydon we performed an observational study prospectively measuring functioning, symptom severity and unmet needs before and after admission. Use of mainstream mental health services was also measured.ResultsWomen using the service had high use of mainstream mental health services, with 137 out of 269 (51%) requiring admission to a mainstream acute ward in the 4 years studied. The service was effective with an improvement in Global Assessment of Functioning scores from a median of 48 on admission to 67 on discharge (P<0.001).Clinical ImplicationsThe women's crisis house was effective in providing for women who required high levels of mainstream mental health services, suggesting that it provides a valuable alternative to standard in-patient care.

Satisfaction With Services

BackgroundMeasurement of the impact of different types of service provision on the views of service users is important in planning mental health services.MethodNeeds (met and unmet) and satisfaction with services, were assessed. People with psychosis (n=131) were interviewed before (Time 1) and after (Time 2) the introduction of two community mental health services in south London. One was intensive, with two specialist teams, the other standard. Outcomes were compared at Time 2, controlling for the Time 1 values.ResultsOverall, 70% of needs were met and mean satisfaction was between ‘mixed’ and ‘mainly satisfied’. There was evidence for higher met needs in the intensive sector, but no evidence for lower unmet needs in the intensive sector or for differences in satisfaction. The additional needs met by the intensive service were associated with aspects of basic living situation. Satisfaction was negatively correlated with both unmet and met needs.ConclusionsBoth services were reasonably successful, with little difference from the user perspective. The intensive service provided benefits in terms of met needs, but this has to be balanced against a possible increase in unmet needs.
