The Exeter HSDR Evidence Synthesis Centre’s team would like to thank Professor Kam Bhui (University of Oxford) and Dr Julian Edbrooke-Childs (University College London) for their clinical and service knowledge in informing the review protocol and commenting on the review’s draft findings. We thank Stuart Dodzo, Co-production and People Coordinator at Healthy Teen Minds (https://healthyteenminds.com/), who facilitated three young black men commenting on our Scientific Summary and Plain English summary. We thank these three young men for their thoughtful feedback. We would also like to thank members of the mental health policy team at the Department of Health and Social Care for their clear guidance on the scope and policy need for the review, and for feedback on the first draft of our review findings and discussion sections. Sincere thanks also go to Sue Whiffin and Jenny Lowe for administrative support throughout this review. We also thank three anonymous reviewers whose extremely knowledgeable and constructive comments on the draft of this report have, we believe, improved it.
Lastly, this work could not have been undertaken without the collegial collaboration of GJ Melendez-Torres and Lou Crathorne of the Peninsula Technology Assessment Group (PenTAG); co-authors Helen Coelho, Fraizer Kiff, Laura Trigg and Sophie Robinson were either temporarily seconded from the PenTAG team and/or working additional hours to enable this review to be delivered.
