Ideas for studies – new applications
welcomed
CAPSS can be used to survey a wide range of rare but important
disorders and events in the CAMHS field. The Executive has
identified some key topics that are of particular clinical, policy
and academic interest. These are listed below. New applications
relating to them will be welcomed, although of course we are keen
to receive applications for other studies.

- Substance dependence in under-16 year
olds
- Severe criminal behaviour in
pre-adolescents
- Auto-immune disorders and severe child
psychopathology (could include iatrogenic immunological
deficiency states)
- Early onset OCD
- Dangerous but unusual adverse effects of
drugs, e.g. in response to concerns/suspicions that a
particular drug might be causing problems
- Poor outcomes of care, e.g. suicide or self
harm
- Failures of care, e.g. under-16 year old
admissions to adult wards; failed transitions to adult
services.
