Design and evaluation of online tools to identify mental health difficulties

We will developed and evaluate a toolkit that combines self ratings and intelligent techniques to help identify difficulties in online mental health support communities, track shifts in mood and recommend appropriate next steps from four levels of stepped care: self-help (e.g. online resources); phone service (e.g. helplines); community/voluntary support; or a relevant medical service. A report on the evaluation end-user engagement and the of design/evaluation of research probes will be delivered.
