| 18/11/2005 SBU-report about
risk assessment in psychiatry
During the spring and summer of 2005 co-workers at CVP together
with the Swedish Council on Technology Assessment in Health Care
(Swedish: Statens Beredning för Medicinsk Utvärdering
[SBU]) have participated in a project about methods for predicting
violence in the community by psychiatric patients. In 2004, SBU
was commissioned by the Swedish Government to prepare a knowledge
basis of risk assessment in psychiatry. The project was to be implemented
in collaboration with the Swedish National Board of Health and Welfare
and other authorities concerned.
The work resulted in a report, published at SBU in October, 2005.
