Researchable Questions to Support Evidence-Based Mental Health Policy Concerning Adult Mental Illness

With the goal of discovering what types of mental health research would directly assist those who formulate policy, the two purposes of this paper are: (1) to identify important gaps in completed research, particularly in relation to the National Service Framework (NSF) for Mental Health & the NHS Plan; & (2) to translate these gaps into researchable questions that can contribute to a debate about the future research agenda for general adult mental health in England.
