Good morning resource

I have been approached by a psychiatrist wanting to look for vitamin D status in a cohort of mental health patients.

Does any corespondent have information or data regarding such a study to avoid re-inventing the wheel and wasting NHS resources. The psychiatrist cannot find anything in the mental health literature. We are reluctant to undertake such a trawl without funding from the researchers.

with best wishes

Richard
