New protocol paper: cardiovascular disease and mental health concerns

The NIHR PRU Behavioural and Social Sciences are exploring how adults at risk of cardiovascular disease and mild-to-moderate mental health concerns engage with integrated care in the UK.

Their latest paper, led by CBC Senior Research Fellow Dr Alison McKinlay and published in Systematic Reviews, outlines the protocol for a systematic review that is part of their OptICS study:
"Exploring the factors that influence engagement with and experiences of integrated care for adults at risk of cardiovascular disease and mild-to-moderate mental health concerns in the UK."

This systematic review will help us better understand how integrated care is experienced by those at higher risk of cardiovascular disease and have existing mental health concerns, such as depression or anxiety.
