A HoNOS is routinely collected on admission and discharge from inpatient, community residential and ambulatory services, and 3-monthly review periods in the non-inpatient settings
B LSP-16 and MHI are routinely collected on admission, discharge and 3-monthly review in community residential and ambulatory services
1 Primary outcome measure, examining change in total score between the Baseline and Follow-up periods
2 Planned secondary outcome, examining change between Admission and Discharge for Clinical assessment battery items, and Baseline and Follow-up for Administrative data items
* Planned predictor in hierarchical linear regression modelling, note that for STORI-30 change between Admission and Discharge stage will be used (reduced, stable, increased)
