Aims of the Study
The NEON Trial and the NEON-O Trial have openly recruited large samples. This study aims to identify differences in baseline sociodemographic and clinical characteristics that are associated with participants’ history of statutory mental health service use. The objectives were to (1) report the baseline characteristics of participants in both trials, (2) compare the baseline characteristics of participants in each trial who have used statutory specialist mental health services with those of the participants who have not, and (3) compare the baseline characteristics of NEON Trial participants currently using specialist services with those of prior users.
