The Mental Health and Wellbeing Joint Strategic Needs Assessment (JSNA) profile is part of the Mental Health and Wellbeing JSNA toolkit which also includes a set of Knowledge Guides offering expert advice and links to policy, evidence and additional data sources.
The profile’s (and wider toolkit’s) purpose is to support Health and Wellbeing Boards and others interested in producing local mental health and wellbeing JSNAs by providing access to metrics on prevalence, risk and protective factors, and care provision (both activity volumes and quality and outcome metrics). These metrics can be used to benchmark to meaningful comparison groups.
The profile is a gateway to the other Mental Health profiles. More detail on specific conditions and client groups can be found in those.
It includes indicators at local authority (county, unitary and district), CCG, STP; and GP and ward levels to enable comparison within as well as between local areas. Not all indicators are available at all levels.
Data are drawn from many sources and vary by time period, population and presentation of values. Care should be taken with interpretation. Detailed meta data and any caveats are set out in the Definitions section.
Metrics are organised across five domains:
- Prevalence & Incidence
- Risk Factors
- Protective Factors
- Services
- Quality and Outcomes
Geography: Upper/lower tier local authority, Clinical Commissioning Groups, GP Practices and Wards in England
Organisation: Office for Health Improvement and Disparities (OHID)
