Dual Diagnosis: a Case Control Study

Abstract

This retrospective case control study collected data on socio-economic and deprivation factors and service use of clients with and without co morbid mental health and substance misuse problems. The study aimed to provide information on the characteristics of those with co morbid mental health and substance misuse problems to enable local services to identify 'vulnerable clients' and to plan appropriate interventions and provision for this group.
