IMPARTS - recap AIM To improve detection and management common mental disorders in medical settings - web-based screening interface - patient-reported mental and physical health outcome measurement - embedded in routine clinical practice - informs patient care and referral
Page 2 IMPARTS informatics screening system: 1. Patients arriving for appointment are given information sheet explaining purpose of screening 2.

IMPARTS Research Database IMPARTS screening data EPR clinical & demographic data IMPARTS pseudonymised Research Database RESEARCHER The database will bring together psychological & physical health outcomes into a single, searchable, anonymised data repository.
Prevalence; Associations Depression Anxiety PTSD Drug & alcohol misuse Physical symptoms (e.g.fatigue, pain); Biomarkers Health beliefs & behaviours e.g. non- adherence Limb reconstruction, rheumatology, Hepatitis C… Research opportunities (1)
Trajectories of depression, anxiety, alcohol misuse in different clinical populations Time 1 Time 2 Time 3 Research opportunities (2)
Research opportunities (3) Increased pain Increased inflammation Poorer adherence Depression Higher health costs Increased unemployment Higher mortality Alcohol dependence Outcomes of mental health problems in physically ill populations over time…
Depressed at T1 Depressed at T2 No depression at T2 Can we predict likelihood of non-remission? Research opportunities (4) - Less social support - Unhelpful health beliefs - Unemployed - More pain
Consent for contact We have ethical approval to prospectively request consent for contact via the IMPARTS screening interface I agree to be contacted by a researcher to offer me the opportunity to take part in relevant research projects if they think I may be a suitable participant. It would then be possible to deanonymise patient records to allow researchers to contact potential trial participants –when explicit consent has been given YesNoMore information
