“…Service User-Rated Outcome Assessments The assessments of needs would be done using the scale of Camberwell Assessment of Needs-Research (CAN-R). 14 The CAN is an interviewer-administrated instrument for a comprehensive assessment of 22 different health and social needs of patients with severe and enduring mental illness. Given the lack of any validated tools for CMDs, this tool is being used for the population under study.…”

Background: The social, economic, and physical environments are widely recognized as important determinants of health and affect the outcome of service delivery. The differences in the patient outcomes can be inferred upon by looking into the process and content of service delivery. Methods: This study is a mixed-methods, prospective cohort study to be conducted at two community extension clinics run by the Central Institute of Psychiatry, Ranchi, Jharkhand. Service users diagnosed with a common mental disorder (CMDs) will be recruited during the study period of three years. The main objective is to ascertain the unmet needs of patients with CMDs. The secondary goals involve measuring the clinical outcome through the lens of process-oriented recovery, service satisfaction, and accessibility, and analyzing the barriers to access healthcare services along with the impact on the carers. Focus group discussions with participants will help understand the reasons behind their unmet needs and factors essential in service delivery. Discussion: Healthcare, as well as social care, aims to deliver services according to need. In a country with 15 million people with CMDs, evaluation of needs could create a platform for the rational distribution of services.

“…Step two evaluated delivered services in relation to present individual needs. Therefore, we used a strategy, inspired by the Camberwell Assessment of Needs (CAN) [47], with the value labels "no need", "serviced needs", and "unserviced needs". Assessments were made irrespective of the success of the support.…”

Background: Healthcare and social services aim to ensure health equity for all users. Despite ongoing efforts, marginalized populations remain underserved. The Dutch HOP-TR study intends to expand knowledge on how to enable the recovery of homeless service users. Methods: A naturalistic meta-snowball sampling resulted in a representative sample of homeless services (N = 16) and users (N = 436). Interviews collected health and needs from user and professional perspectives in a comprehensive, rights-based ecosystem strategy. We calculated the responsiveness to needs in four domains (mental health, physical health, paid work, and administration). Results: Most service users were males (81%) with a migration background (52%). In addition to physical (78%) and mental health needs (95%), the low education level (89%) and functional illiteracy (57%) resulted in needs related to paid work and administration support. Most had vital needs in three or four domains (77%). The availability of matching care was extremely low. For users with needs in two domains, met needs ranged from 0.6–13.1%. Combined needs (>2 domains) were hardly met. Conclusions: Previous research demonstrated the interdependent character of health needs. This paper uncovers some causes of health inequity. The systematic failure of local services to meet integrating care needs demonstrates the urgency to expand recovery-oriented implementation strategies with health equity in mind.

“…This might suggest that these supported accommodation services are indeed accepting people who are more unwell than the English equivalent services (RC), as suggested earlier, and that the CTRPs perform a role somewhere between the English RCs and inpatient mental health rehabilitation units. This explanation seems likely since most unmet needs in the Verona service users were in the domains of 'health' and 'functioning'(CAN [28]). Despite this, quality of life was higher amongst the Italian service users in all three types of accommodation.…”

“…With regard to service characteristics, these were: expected length of stay; actual length of stay; mean total places; mean occupied places; mean new admissions in past 12 months; mean successful moves to more independent accommodation within 30 months. Service user characteristics comprised: socio-demographic variables (age, gender, marital status, employment status, previous accommodation); mental health problems and service use (primary diagnosis, problematic alcohol, and substance use, years of contact with mental health services, mean previous admissions, mean previous compulsory admissions); needs (assessed in the English survey using the Camberwell Assessment of Needs Short Appraisal Scale [CANSAS] and, in the Italian survey, with the full version [CAN] (both comprise 22items which assess the amount and type of help needed and received, denoted as total, met and unmet needs)[28]); and quality of life (assessed in both surveys by the Manchester Short Assessment of Quality of Life[MANSA], which provides the participant's subjective assessment of a number of life domains and produces a total mean score between 1 (completely dissatisfied) and 7 (completely satisfied)][29])…”

Purpose England and Italy are considered pioneers in the development of community mental health services. Both have implemented supported accommodation services for those with more complex needs, which can be broadly categorized into three main types with similar specification. The aim of this study was to compare the characteristics of these services and their users in England and Italy. Methods Data from two cross-sectional surveys of supported accommodation services undertaken across England and in Verona, Italy (England-619 service users from 87 services; Verona-167 service users from 25 services) were compared. Results Service users in the two samples had similar sociodemographic and clinical characteristics; most were male, unmarried and unemployed, with a primary diagnosis of schizophrenia or other psychosis and over 15 years contact with mental health services.
