This study investigates service users' priorities for mental health research and compares them with established priorities. Groups of service users were convened from the London boroughs of Southwark, Lewisham, Lambeth and Croydon. The study was informed by participatory research methodology. User accounts of their research priorities were analysed using a modified grounded theory approach. Service users in this study identified different research priorities from those of professionals. They wished to design and conduct more research themselves, and were more interested in research that was social and psychological rather than biomedical. They also wished to see investigations of alternative treatments to psychiatric medication. The research priorities of service users need further investigation, and effective structures should be developed and consolidated to ensure that these priorities become incorporated into the mental health research agenda.

‘Widening cross-disciplinary research for mental health’: what is missing from the Research Councils UK mental health agenda?

This current issues article is a brief critical examination of the recent Research Councils UK agenda and call for cross-disciplinary research in mental health. The authors' argument is based on the fact that patient and public involvement (PPI) is the only involvement and influencing strategy for service users and survivors in the agenda. Service user and survivor research as a discipline in itself remains unacknowledged. It is concluded that service user and survivor research is distinct and is different to PPI, and should be recognised in any mental health research agenda. (Edited publisher abstract)

Until recently, user-led research was not accepted by the academic mainstream. Nearly all of its publications are part of what is known as the 'grey' literature. It does not appear in peer-reviewed journals. However, there is now a sea-change in the status of user-led and collaborative research. Funding bodies such as National Health Service Executive Research and Development and Wellcome require evidence of user involvement in research proposals and sometimes require that users be involved centrally in the research itself. User-led research involves service users controlling all stages of the research process; design, recruitment, ethics, data collection, data analysis, writing up and dissemination.

Presents a survey of thirty-three people who were judged by their clinicians to be in need of 24-hour nursed care. The majority expressed a preference for independent living with some input from psychiatric staff. When presented with the features of 24-hour nursed care accommodation, some were willing to contemplate it. Users were positive about privacy in the accommodation but objected to those features which made the homes seem like an institution. It is argued that the group is not homogenous in their responses to the government proposals and no single service model will be satisfactory to everyone.
