Co-prioritization of mental health recovery outcomes and scales for community mental health centers in Peru
Based on a participatory methodology, key stakeholders at different levels of the Peruvian mental health system prioritized five recovery outcomes to use routinely in CMHC: psychosocial functioning, quality of life, psychiatric symptoms, emotional balance, and personal growth. The first two were deemed as the most important for all stakeholders; and the latter two were novel outcomes that emerged from patients. Two scales were selected to assess the first two of these outcomes. Defining a scale for the latter three outcomes and test their use in CMHC routines remain as pending tasks.
