    Open AccessEaster Joury, Eliana Nakhleh et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Psychiatry2025

    the syndemic conceptualisation provides a valuable framework to understand health and illness, and hence to better design and deliver effective and cost-effective preventative and curative integrated (syndemic) care to improve patient and population health.

  • Developing a Consensus Statement to Target Oral Health Inequalities in People With Severe Mental Illness

    Open AccessMasuma Pervin Mishu, Vishal R Aggarwal et al.ARTICLEHealth Expectations2024

    INTRODUCTION: Oral diseases are more prevalent in people with severe mental illness (SMI) compared to those without mental illnees. A greater focus on oral health is needed to reverse unacceptable but often neglected oral health inequality in people with SMI. This provided the impetus for developing 'The Right to Smile' consensus statement. We aimed to develop and disseminate a consensus statement to address oral health inequality, highlighting t…

  • Physical health problems in people with psychosis

    Open AccessJuliana Onwumere, Sophia Howes et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of Social…2018

  • Excess mortality in persons with severe mental disorders

    Open AccessNancy H Liu, Gail L Daumit et al.ARTICLEWorld Psychiatry2017

    Excess mortality in persons with severe mental disorders (SMD) is a major public health challenge that warrants action. The number and scope of truly tested interventions in this area remain limited, and strategies for implementation and scaling up of programmes with a strong evidence base are scarce. Furthermore, the majority of available interventions focus on a single or an otherwise limited number of risk factors. Here we present a multilevel…
