This is something we talk about in monitoring and evaluation-- a LOT. Well-meaning attempts to gather more data, ostensibly to improve care, can actually undermine it.

In the context of #mentalhealth, with huge human resource shortages, time lost = lost patients. @MINDME_Africa

"Every hour lost to poorly designed administrative activity is an hour not spent examining, teaching, or treating."

Administrative overload harms patient care and wastes clinical time, @SammyArab @KaranChhatwal_ @HamaadAKhan

Mental health has been ignored in policy for too long. At the Paris @WHO_Europe #MentalHealthInAllPolicies conference, I shared why every sector must act—& how @WHO policy guidance (launching soon) can help turn awareness into action. #QualityRights

[Wellcome @wellcometrust]

Longitudinal data has the potential to transform early intervention in mental health.

That’s why we’re funding researchers to use it to find early signs of mental health problems.

We're looking for diverse, interdisciplinary teams.

Apply by 22 July ⤵️

"Member Checking & the Importance of Context" - Expecting participants to think & respond as they did when they shared their lived experiences w/ the researcher is unreasonable. In-the-moment, question-answer member checking is a better quality option. https://t.co/SLkDPpZFIV

"The “we know best” mentality of many mental health services invalidates and demotes living experience."

In the first blog of 'The Limitations of Lived Experience' series, NSUN CEO, Mandy Crandale looks toward genuine co-production in mental health.
