Listen, empathize, agree, partner (LEAP) for people with complex mental health conditions

People with complex mental health conditions have a great need for coordinated efforts from healthcare and social services. These individuals often have low or nonexistent insight into their illness, which can lead to a lack of treatment and support. LEAP (listen, empathize, agree, partner) is a conversational method designed to reach individuals with low illness insight.

SBU Enquiry Service

Consists of structured literature searches to highlight studies that can address questions received by the SBU Enquiry Service from Swedish healthcare or social service providers. We assess the risk of bias in systematic reviews and when needed also quality and transferability of results in health economic studies. Relevant references are compiled by an SBU staff member, in consultation with an external expert when needed.
