Abstract
OBJECTIVE
The study examines how successful the participation of people with mental illness and family members is currently in the development of psychiatric guidelines.
METHODS
Survey results of N=561 (Response 37%) guideline developers are analyzed.
RESULTS
Involvement of affected individuals succeeds more often than that of family members (61% vs. 55%). 68% felt that this participation was central to successful guideline development. 51% perceived discrepancies between empirical evidence and experience perspective. 33-36% perceived a lack of appreciation of experience expertise, 37% an insufficient representation and 46% an inequality in consensus building. 45% did not see barriers effectively removed.
CONCLUSION
There remain challenges in the participation of people with mental illness and family members. There is an increasing awareness that their participation is central.
