cent received only pharmacological treatments. Access to care is scarce and above all unequal, with poor people and those living in low-resource areas having less access to mental health care than other people (Lopes et al., 2016 ). Beyond the problem of access, there are several reasons for the limited engagement with mental health care among low-income populations. These include the failure to acknowledge that one has a significant problem, the belief that the disorder will resolve itself spontaneously, a desire to deal with the problem by oneself or not knowing
Involvement Researchers Evaluating and Quantifying User and Carer Involvement in Mental Health Care Planning (EQUIP): Co-development of a new Patient-Reported Outcome Measure (PROM) Items for the EQUIP PROM were developed from 74 interviews and 9 focus groups conducted with service users, carers and mental health professionals recruited from two large NHS Trusts. From these data, 70 items (potentially relevant questions) were developed. First, face validity was examined with a mixed sample of 16 members of a Service User and Carer Advisory Group (SUCAG). Nine items were

continuous stakeholder engagement for research dissemination. Introduction Mental health care resources are finite. In order to ensure service users receive the highest quality health care, evidence about the most effective and acceptable treatments needs to be fully incorporated into health care policy and practice. However, we have known for a long time that this is not happening as well as it should be within health services and that research evidence is not being transferred sufficiently to routine clinical practice both in the UK and across the world. This is often
questions (such as, for example, the issue of local air quality) were the key elements of this EC call. The call was widely publicized by the network and a total of twenty-seven eligible applications were received, indicating the strength and diversity of the science shop movement, with four projects eventually being funded. These dealt with health effects of noise from wind turbines; cycling and air pollution; optimizing public transport for the elderly; and mental health care for immigrant communities. Even where these applications were unsuccessful, productive networks

preventive intervention especially in families and schools, repeating the familiar argument that earlier is almost always better, and early intervention services are key. ‘Close treatment gaps’ by providing mental health care provisions locally in every community and thus improving access and impact, although a lot of the specific actions concern homelessness and opioid addiction. ‘Partner with communities’, embracing the wisdom and strength of local communities, to create effective and culturally competent solutions, which seems to amount to trying to create
