Research summary
The study will seek to understand service user experience of a collaborative police and mental health service intervention for people who experience recurrent mental health crises and frequent contact with emergency services.
Semi-structured interviews will be held with service users either remotely (preferred) or face to face with participants, 18 years or older (n= 15-20) who have been involved in the study since it commenced in 2016.
Surrey police shall recruit participants and provide study information. Consent to participate in the study shall be taken by a member of the study team (JR/CW).
Interviews shall be conducted jointly by a peer researcher who has lived experience of mental health crises (but who is independent from SHIPP) and another member of the study team (JR/CW). Interviews will be audio recorded and transcribed verbatim.
Interviews will consist of questions formed through earlier stages of the project (2 workshops with service users to validate the research's value and determine what are the areas are of interest).
Thematic analysis shall be used to analyse that data.REC name
