Integrated Services for Patients with Dual Diagnosis (ROPIT)

This project addresses one of the most difficult questions in the modern welfare state: how to organize services for people with concurrent addiction and mental health problems in ways that make these services more coordinated as seen by the users. Improving services for this patient group is a highly prioritized aim in the service organizations and in education of health and welfare professions as well.  

The participatory research project proposes to explore and evaluate the organization of services for patients with concurrent addiction and mental health problems (“patients with dual diagnosis”) at local levels, with a particular focus on factors that promote or prevent the implementation of integrated services. The collaboration will explore how co-ordination across professional and service boundaries can be accomplished in this local context, and go on to outline the implications for professional training. An evaluation and dissemination strategy is built into the project, to ensure relevant sharing of knowledge and implementation of findings.
