Premature mortality in adults with severe mental illness (SMI)

Details

This report presents analysis of the geographical variation in the premature mortality and excess premature mortality for adults aged 18 to 74 years with severe mental illness (SMI) in England.

The report is the first in a series of reports that analyse variation in premature mortality and excess premature mortality for adults with SMI. It is part of a wider programme of work seeking to better understand and effectively measure premature mortality in adults with SMI.

The report is written for:

  • national organisations that lead and develop strategy, policy and guidance for the wellbeing of people with SMI
  • local organisations that plan, manage and deliver preventive, clinical and supportive services for people with SMI
  • local organisations that, along with mental health services, diagnose and treat physical health conditions in people with SMI and support them to live better with these conditions

The data is provided to help local areas understand the needs of their population and to assess if the interventions they put in place are helping to reduce premature mortality in the population with SMI.

We would like to express our thanks to our various partners, without whom this work would not have been possible.
