Aims and MethodChild and adolescent mental health services in north-west England (n=21) participated in a prospective collection of information regarding all instances of new prescribing of medication over the 6–month period September 1999 to February 2000.ResultsA total of 478 new prescriptions were issued to 411 individuals. Eight prescriptions (2%) were for an unlicensed drug and a further 188 (39%) were of licensed drugs but used in a manner outside of their product licence.Clinical ImplicationsThis level of unlicensed and outside-licence prescribing is similar to levels previously found in studies both within paediatric practice and in adult mental health practice. Anxiety about excessive beyond-licence prescribing by child mental health services is unlikely to be justified.

Access To Health

Objetivo: compreender a dinâmica de acesso do transfronteiriço aos serviços de saúde. Método: pesquisa exploratória, descritiva e de campo em quatro cidades gêmeas do Paraná (Foz do Iguaçu, Guaíra, Santo Antônio do Sudoeste e Barracão). Os dados foram obtidos por meio de entrevista semiestruturada aplicada aos gestores de saúde e submetidos à análise temática de conteúdo proposta por Bardin. Resultados: quatro categorias temáticas discutidas criticamente com a literatura, observou-se no estudo que a) há um maior acolhimento nos municípios menores, sobretudo na atenção básica; b) o financiamento como principal entrave para o acesso do transfronteiriço; c) a decisão discricionária do profissional de saúde no momento do atendimento face à ausência de diretrizes institucionalizadas que perdurem. Considerações finais: verificou-se que o acesso ao serviço de saúde do transfronteiriço é instável e confuso, mas  a disseminação do pensamento integrador e de solidariedade entre os povos, a partir do nível local, poderá contribuir para ampliar a noção de cidadania e de acolhimento ao transfronteiriço.

The chapter introduces the cross-national comparative material offered by the qualitative interviews conducted in the EUMEAN survey. Building on Juan Díez Medrano’s study (2003) of how Europe is framed differently by Germans, Spanish and British, the chapter focuses on the discussions about mobility and cross-border experiences of residents of the five West European countries in EUCROSS (i.e., also adding Denmark and Italy in comparative terms). Taking the confident identities of Danes in Europe as its reference point, it contrasts the less experienced but sometimes more idealist points of view of Spanish and Italians, with the more doubtful voices of Germans and British. Tensions in their cross-border relations also surface, particularly between the privileged North-West of the continent and the South.

Gradual Process

Background: User participation is advocated on the basis that consumers know their own needs better than anyone else. Photovoice is a participatory research method that empowers the grass-root population to give voice on concerned issues for eliciting social change. Aim: This study explores the experience and impact of user participation in mental health services (MHS) in Hong Kong through photovoice. It also examines the effects of this method in studying user participation. Method: In this qualitative inquiry, authors, two peer researchers and three participants were involved in the various stages of research design, data collection and data analysis. Participants took photos showing their perception and experiences of being involved in different MHS systems. They shared their narratives through these images and reflected on the participatory experience of photovoice. Results: User participation was experienced as a gradual process of assuming control that involved personal responsibility, connection with peers, collaboration with staff, redefinition of boundaries and social inclusion. Meaningful participation gave rise to a sense of contribution, interpersonal connection and self-worth and transformed one’s identity. Participants enjoyed the mutual interaction and derived benefit from the photovoice process. Issues such as consent and confidentiality arose in implementation. Conclusion: Participation entails partnership among service users, providers and peers. Photovoice opens up new space for unfolding expert knowledge. Further application of this participatory approach with the local community is suggested in order to develop person-centered care.
