Reports findings of a study that explored how people experiencing common mental health problems understand self-help and use it as a coping strategy. The study focused on capacity for the development of self-help within primary care to address mental health needs. The 18-month qualitative study was undertaken in two local health co-operatives (LHCCs) within one primary care trust in Scotland. Individual interviews and multi-disciplinary discussions were conducted with staff, and 34 service users were also recruited for in-depth interviews to explore their views, needs, and how these needs were being met. Findings suggest that improving primary care responses for people with common mental health problems should increase the availability of social support, particularly for those people who are isolated.

Outlines the findings of an evaluation of a series of evidence-into-practice training workshops designed to strengthen evidence-based practice in mental health improvement delivery in Scotland. Evaluation was in 2 phases to assess the extent to which training had influenced practice. Findings suggest that, in addition to providing high quality learning opportunities for improvement, considerable attention needs to be given to the barriers inhibiting putting learning into practice. These may need to be taken much more fully into account in design and delivery of evidence-into-practice training.
