The Catalogue of Mental Health
Posted: Thu Feb 06, 2025 9:52 am
We conceptualised the Catalogue as a dynamic tool which needs constant updating to follow the progress of the studies.
For example, in 2020 we had to adjust our plans and incorporate a section on Covid-19 to account for the new data collected by many of the studies to document the impact of the pandemic india rcs data on mental health and wellbeing. The cohort and longitudinal studies are essential for providing key findings in this area, as they have collected measures of mental health prior to the pandemic and they allow important comparisons across pre- and post-Covid.
As time goes on, we also plan to expand the scope of the Catalogue to include measures such as temperament and personality, that are not direct indicators of mental health problems but are clearly closely related.
Other important resources for mental health research
The Catalogue provides information about each study’s data access policy but it does not provide direct access to the data. However, that is exactly what the ESRC-funded UK Data Service does. Data for several studies covered by the Catalogue are held and managed by the UK Data Service including the National British Cohorts and the Adult Psychiatric Morbidity Survey (APMS).
