Systematic maps aim to describe the existing research literature on a broad topic area and also highlight any gaps. This systematic map includes research on the experience of depression in various BME older populations and the use of services in the UK. In particular, it provides an overview of and access to research on: the main ethnic groups assessed for depression; the factors associated with the incidence of depression; the languages used by different BME communities to describe depression, and the meanings attached to depressive symptoms; the screening tools for depression used by healthcare and other professionals some types of interventions available to older BME people. Despite the coverage of broad issues on depression in BME older people, the map highlights considerable gaps particularly around the issue of social care provision.

Summarises the findings from key texts that address severe and multiple disadvantage (SMD), covering the co-occurrence of homelessness, drug and alcohol misuse, mental health problems, cycles of violence and abuse, and chronic poverty. The review highlights attempts to: define the issue politically; provide data on the scope and scale of SMD; highlights effective services; and makes recommendations for service delivery and government policy. The review also identifies key political benefits for future action, including cost effectiveness resulting from reducing overlaps in service provision and the development of new and innovative services.

Based on a conservative estimate, 2228 people with an intellectual disability (ID) in Northern Ireland, 958 children and 1270 adults, are likely to have behaviours that challenge others. These people require significant input from services to maintain them in their own home. This report provides a review of literature in order to inform practice with 2 groups of people with IDs. The aim is to identify the supports that are required for these client populations to enable them to live in their own homes as far as is possible and to live dignified meaningful lives. Firstly, the review considers the evidence in relation to people with an ID who challenge and may have comorbid mental health problems. For this group the review considers: supporting living; day opportunities; family support; and other interventions or services that have an evidence-base applicable across settings. Secondly, the review looks at the evidence in relation to people with ID who are reaching old age and in many cases are being cared for by older caregiving family members. This is a new area of research, since more people with ID are now living into old age. For this group the review focuses on: health; aging in place; succession planning; formal service provision; and use of mainstream services. Recommendations are made in relation to practice, education and future research focused on clients, family caregivers and formal service providers.

The Social Care Institute for Excellence (SCIE) has commissioned two systematic reviews in the area of parental mental health and child welfare. The first will review evidence on the prevalence of mental health problems among parents and their detection in health, social care and children’s services. The second review is on the accessibility, acceptability, and effectiveness of interventions to support parents with mental health problems and their children. The reviews are part of a larger SCIE project, the aim of which is to publish practice guidelines in how mental health services (both for adults and for adolescents and children) and local authority children and family services can plan, deliver and evaluate their service to support parents with mental health problems and their children. The guidelines project is being carried out in partnership with the National Institute for Clinical Excellence, their National Collaborating Centre for Mental Health, and SCIE's Parental Mental Health and Child Welfare Network.

Looks at a variety of implementation studies from agriculture, mental health, medicine, manufacturing, and other fields to find evidence of successful implementation. The monograph determines what these successes have in common, and how lessons can be applied to the human services fields, including mental health, social services, juvenile justice, education, early childhood education, employment services, and substance abuse prevention and treatment.

The research briefing focuses on jointly-organised services for older people and people with mental health problems in the UK only. It identifies different models of working between health and social care services at the strategic, commissioning and operational levels; evidence of effectiveness and cost-effectiveness; factors promoting and obstacles hindering the success of these models; and the perspectives of people who use services and their carers. The main issues are discussed under themes of: organisational issues; cultural and professional issues; and contextual issues. Gaps in the research evidence and the need to develop high-quality, large-scale research into joint and integrated working are also identified. The briefing updates a previous systematic review and excludes papers published before 2000.

This Australian study examines outcomes of acute service delivery in old age psychiatry using a review of the literature. The review includes controlled trials, audits and surveys of the outcomes of service delivery in old age psychiatry located in acute hospitals and community settings. With the exception of outreach services to nursing homes, long term institutional care was excluded. The majority of studies indicated that old age psychiatry services have positive acute treatment outcomes, particularly with depression. There is insufficient evidence to determine which types of care are associated with better outcomes.
