NCT ID NCT06996899
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study will test a tool called the Health Improvement Profile (HIP) in a mental health inpatient unit. The HIP is a checklist that helps clinicians spot physical health problems like high blood pressure or poor diet in people being treated for mental illness. Researchers will see if it's practical to use and whether it helps patients improve their health after leaving the hospital.

What this could lead to
If successful, this could show that a simple health check helps mental health patients improve their physical health and reduce chronic disease risks.
