In 2023, Scotland saw 1,172 drug related deaths (DRDs). Approaches to death prevention are complex as solutions require coordinated action across different sectors. How can we explore how causes of DRDs interact in our health and social care system? Let's use systems mapping!🧵 (1/17) #systemscience

The Rt. Hon. Wes Streeting MP talked about "overdiagnosis" of mental health on #Kuenssberg today. Our research at University of Essex using Understanding Society data shows
"underdiagnosis" is a far bigger problem in the UK than"overdiagnosis".

There are also significant inequalities with
some groups (e.g. young people, disabled people) more likely to have undiagnosed mental health problems. Our team have more articles forthcoming on undiagnosed distress and inequalities using representative population data. Department of Health and Social Care please look at the evidence
