Psychosocial Risk Identification in Primary Care
Research
A Survey of Psychosocial Risk Identification, Assessment and Management in Primary Care.
John Fitzgerald, Karma Galyer & Deb Christini-Crawford
This project was supported by a Summer Studentship Grant from Waikato Clinical School, University of Auckland.
Timeline: November 2009 - February 2010.
This study aimed to survey and interview primary care practitioners (GPs and Practice Nurses) to gain a rich understanding of the magnitude of psychosocial risks these health professionals are required to identify, assess and manage in their day to day practice, with a particular focus on how suicide risk is recognized and responded to.
A summary report on this project is available.
