non-peer-reviewed Aims: Early intervention in youth mental health is increasingly viewed as easier, cheaper and more effective than traditional approaches to care. GPs, as the healthcare professional most often consulted by young people, have a central role in early detection of youth mental health and addiction disorders. However, international data suggests many young people have concerns bringing these issues to their GP, and GPs themselves experience difficulty identifying and treating mental health issues. The aim of this study is to gain an understanding of the experience of youth mental health and addiction treatment in two deprived urban areas to inform future early intervention practice development. Methods: Semi-structured interviews were recorded with 37 healthcare professionals. Inductive thematic analysis was carried out using QSR NVivo 9. Results: ‘Context’ suggests youth mental health issues are considerably influenced by wider societal context and local factors (e.g. family). Intervention suggests many barriers and enablers to helping young people, be that at the identification, treatment, or engagement stages of intervention. Conclusions: Many factors influence how a young person develops, seeks help for, and engages with treatment for mental and substance use disorders. This knowledge is useful in developing interventions in primary care that are specific to deprived urban areas. |
