MULTIPLE ACCESS POINTS AND LEVELS OF ENTRY (MAPLE): ENSURING CHOICE, ACCESSIBILITY AND EQUITY FOR CBT SERVICES

Lovell, Karina, Richards, David·2000·Behavioural and Cognitive Psychotherapy

Abstract

Mental health problems contribute 23% to the global burden of disease in developed countries (WHO, 1999). In the U.K., recent legislation attempts to address this by modernizing mental health services so that they provide evidence based, accessible and non-discriminatory services for both serious and common mental health problems. Cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT) has a robust evidence base that fits very well with the thrust of policy. However, CBT's delivery systems are rooted in traditional service models, which pay little attention to the growing evidence base for brief and single-strand treatments over complex or multi-strand interventions. Services characterized by 9-5 working, hourly appointments and face-to-face therapy disenfranchise the majority of people who would benefit from CBT. In this paper we argue that the evidence exists for service protocols that promote equity, accessibility and choice and that CBT services should be organized around multiple levels of entry and service delivery rather than the more usual secondary care referral systems.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Long waiting lists exist in specialized mental health care due to treatment duration and limited financial resources.

    “Therefore, treatment costs tend to be higher compared to primary care (Spijker et al., 2013) in combination with long waiting lists due to treatment duration and limited financial resources (Bower and Gilbody, 2005, Lovell and Richards, 2000).”
  • Many patients do not access effective anxiety treatments.

    “However, many patients do not access these treatments for a number of reasons, such as concerns over side effects (Weisberg, Dyck, Culpepper, & Keller, 2007), patient or therapist unwillingness to engage in exposure therapy, lack of trained therapists (Gunter & Whittal, 2010), and scheduling difficulties (Lovell & Richards, 2000).”
  • Organising services with multiple levels of entry and service delivery, rather than a single referral gateway at primary care, may help increase access to psychological therapies.

    “Organising services with multiple levels of entry and service delivery, rather than the more traditional single referral gateway at the level of primary care into secondary care services, may help to increase access to psychological therapies.3”
  • Access to psychological treatment services for individuals with common mental health problems has often been variable and limited, with long waiting lists.

    “However, because of their low capacity, access to psychological treatment services for individuals with these difficulties has often been variable and limited, with long waiting lists for these services.3”
  • Alternatives to one-to-one treatment delivery are necessitated beyond existing adjunctive self-help materials.

    “necessitating alternatives to one-to-one treatment delivery (Lovell & Richards, 2000) beyond the existing adjunctive use of self-help materials (Keeley et al , 2002).”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
