"If we want mental health research to become a mental health science, one that improves the lives of patients and service users, we need a common language."

This is an excellent read on the need for a consistent set of mental health measures to improve measurement of MH. (1/4) https://twitter.com/mirandarwolpert/status/1311214572502691841

We need more trials measuring MH to improve the research landscape and our knowledge of the role of MH. A consistent set of measures could encourage the inclusion of MH outcomes, as well as aiding data harmonisation. (2/4)

It's very refreshing that the process will prioritise the inclusion of those with lived experience, with the involvement described as a "key and welcome change". (3/4)

Hopeful next step... An obesity-specific consistent set of mental health measures for inclusion in all obesity-related studies! Development could involve @ECPObesity @GOPAObesity @ObesityUK_org etc (4/4)
