Brief Summary:
This is an observational study to assess the prevalence of common mental disorders and alcohol use disorders in a population of individuals seeking help from their Member of Parliament MP in the UK
Detailed Description:
Members of Parliament MP in the United Kingdom UK represent the interests of their constituents Constituents may contact their MP for assistance if they feel that they have been treated unfairly by a government department or agency have concerns relating to their local area or are wanting support from their MP for a campaign they are involved in In order to fulfil their duty to constituents MPs hold regular surgeries which allow anyone with a concern to meet with them to discuss the issue in question further Given the role of the MP in representing people who may be in the midst of stressful events such as a dispute it is possible that mental health problems may be more prevalent in this population However at present MPs are not given any additional training in recognising mental distress and may not know how to appropriately sign-post people to appropriate supportive services nor do MPs receive advice in supporting such individuals To the best of the investigators knowledge there have been no prior studies in this area The findings of this study will inform initiatives to improve MP working practices to and raise awareness of the mental health challenges faced by their constituents with the aim of better meeting the mental health needs of constituents who attend MP surgeries in the future
