I'd appreciate some advice -
i'm working with a local group to reconfigure mental health services and how
they are accessed at the primary care/secondary care interface. We want to
evaluate the impact of the changes.
What do you think we should use to indicate 'socio-economic' status (or what
would indicate 'social capital') ?
If we look retrospectively, we'll have employment status, marital status and
postcode data but I'm not sure if much more.
It needs to be simple but prospectively we could be imaginative about what
we record.
Thanks
