Mental Health Inequalities

Measuring what counts

This paper is based on a seminar organised jointly by Sainsbury Centre and the Department of Health in 2009.

It argues that public services do not routinely collect data on mental health inequalities and that the information they do collect is not used to its full potential.

It calls for better information to be collected and used to measure inequalities in mental health and the life chances of people with mental health problems.
