The costs, outcomes and returns on investment of a package of intersectoral interventions for mental, neurological, and substance-use disorders, and intellectual disabilities in South Africa
South Africa faces a significant burden from mental, neurological, and substance-use (MNS) conditions, with a substantial treatment gap that hampers the country's progress toward universal health coverage (UHC). Despite National Health Insurance (NHI) reforms, equity in access, affordability and preparedness remain concerns. The South African Mental Health Investment Case (MHIC) was commissioned to evaluate the costs and benefits of implementing …
Bridging the Gap
INTRODUCTION: Methodological and ethical arguments support the involvement of individuals with lived experience in research to reduce engagement barriers and ensure those directly affected by studies contribute to knowledge generation. However, there is limited evidence on the impact of including researchers with lived experience of serving a prison or community sentence in clinical trials. This qualitative study aimed to explore the value of inv…
Stratification of elderly patients with multimorbidity in need of cross-sectoral collaboration
Introduction: Multimorbidity is a growing concern across global healthcare, and is associated with poor quality of life and high utilization of healthcare resources. Multimorbidity exists on a spectrum of complexity with some patients experiencing high quality of life and low disease burden, while other patients experience very poor quality of life and high treatment burden. In addition, complex patients often experience fragmentation of care and…
Collecting resource use data for economic evaluation in a prison setting with a focus on self-harm
This tool will allow use of existing prison data to improve the evidence base for reducing self-harm in prisons. In turn this will enable policy makers and commissioners to allocate resources most effectively, improving clinical outcomes
Health and economic impact of caregiving on informal caregivers of people with chronic diseases in sub-Saharan Africa
With a disproportionate burden of chronic diseases and severe shortage of health workers in sub-Saharan Africa, the region implicitly relies on informal caregivers (ICGs) to support the patients both within and outside the health facilities. The aim of this review is to systematically summarise evidence on the health and economic impact of caregiving on informal caregivers of patients with chronic diseases in sub-Saharan Africa.

Exploring the Experiences of Living With the Post‐Covid Syndrome
INTRODUCTION: Many people experience persistent symptoms for more than 12 weeks following SARS-CoV-2 infection, which is known as post-COVID-19 condition (PCS) or Long COVID (LC). PCS can impair people's quality of life and daily functioning. However, there is a lack of in-depth research exploring the PCS patient journey, as well as gendered aspects of patients' experiences. METHODS: Nineteen semi-structured qualitative interviews were conducted …

Influence of dependent personality status on the outcome and health service costs of health anxiety
OBJECTIVE: To assess the effect of dependent personality disturbance as an influence on the cost and clinical outcome of health anxiety. METHOD: In the course of a randomized trial of treatments for patients with high health anxiety over 12 months, we also recorded dependent personality status by two methods: the Personality Assessment Schedule (an observer-rated instrument) and the self-rated Dependent Personality Questionnaire (DPQ), the latter…
An Evaluation of New Services for Personality-Disordered Offenders

Material: Thematic analysis was applied to qualitative interviews with 30 service users and 22 staff. Discussion: Service users perceived that they w…
