The National Centre for Mental Health (NCMH) is a research centre funded by Welsh Government through Health and Care Research Wales. It is led jointly by Cardiff University, Swansea University and Bangor University, working with NHS organisations across Wales and England.
Mental health conditions affect many people across the UK, and overall mental wellbeing is declining. Mental health problems can have a major impact on a person's daily life, physical health, and quality of life. People with severe mental illnesses may also have a shorter life expectancy. Research is important to help us better understand what causes mental health problems, how they develop, and how we can improve prevention, treatment, support, and care.
NCMH collects information participants about their mental and physical health, lifestyle, and personal background. Participants may also be asked to provide biological samples, such as saliva, for genetic research. They will also be asked for their permission for researchers to securely link their research information with NHS data and to share anonymised data with other approved research studies. NCMH also helps people learn about and take part in other high-quality, ethically approved research projects.
Anyone aged 16 or over who lives in the UK can join the NCMH Research Community, whether or not they have personal experience of mental health difficulties, by completing a short sign-up survey. NCMH studies a wide range of mental health conditions and people may be invited to join the NCMH Research Community by taking part in other online surveys, on topics such as trauma and women's health. The requirements for taking part (such as age) may be different for these studies.
The main goal of NCMH is to improve understanding of mental health, help prevent mental health problems, identify them earlier, and improve the support, treatment, and care available to people affected by them.
