WP3: Profilierung von Pilotfällen und Einbindung von Communities

Equicares Project, 15/05/2025, 0

WP3: Profilierung von Pilotfällen und Einbindung von Communities

WP3 wird Pilotfälle profilieren, Aufklärungskampagnen durchführen und Co-Creation-Workshops mit Communities organisieren, um acht „Smart Health Labs“ einzurichten. Außerdem werden Programme zum Kapazitätsaufbau umgesetzt und ein „KI-Assistent“ für personalisierte Unterstützung im Bereich psychische Gesundheit entwickelt.

Research on Accessibility Barriers

The EQUICARES approach adopts the Levesque Framework, which assesses service accessibility through the lenses of approachability, acceptability, availability, affordability, and appropriateness.The framework will be expanded to specifically address the needs of individuals in vulnerable situations.

A mixed-methods approach will be used, including:

● Ethnographic research (both in-person and digital)

● Application of the Levesque framework to create new mental health-related indicators for evaluating accessibility barriers

● Conducting interviews, focus groups, and surveys

● Collaboration with cultural mediators when needed to build trust and facilitate engagement with vulnerable populations

● Enhancement and integration of existing EU and national databases (e.g., EU-SILC, European Health Interview Survey) for comprehensive analysis

Policy Dashboard

The Policy Dashboard is a centralised platform monitoring, assessment, and cost analysis tools; the Atlas; the AI Assistant; and the policy recommendations

With the Policy Dashboard, policymakers, healthcare providers, researchers and all interested stakeholders can:

● Analyze disparities in mental health service accessibility

● Identify solutions tailored to specific populations

● Use insights to inform policy decisions

WP1: Framework for Mental Healthcare Access

WP1 will develop a framework to assess mental health service access for people in vulnerable situations using an adapted Levesque model. It will analyse key drivers of mental health disruptions and identify barriers at macro, meso, and micro levels through interviews, surveys, and field studies.

WP2: Ιdentification and assessment of innovative solutions that promote and improve access to mental health and care services

WP3: Pilot Case Profiling and Community Engagement

WP3 will profile pilot cases, conduct awareness campaigns, and co-creation workshops to establish 8 “Smart Health Labs”. It will implement capacity-building programs and develop an “AI assistant” for personalised mental health support.

WP4: Evaluation, cost analysis, and policy support

WP4 will engage citizens, service providers and care workers to co-design local deployment roadmaps and implement “small-scale pilot projects” to test mental health solutions.

WP5: Evaluation and Policy Recommendations

WP5 will evaluate project outcomes, conduct cost-benefit analyses, and develop the EQUICARES Policy Dashboard. It will ensure sustainability through a “Replication Handbook” and provide policy recommendations through targeted policy briefs.

WP6, WP7, WP8: Dissemination, exploitation, and sustainability

These horizontal WPs will disseminate project’s results, establish a ”Network of Interest”, form synergies with other initiatives, and develop a “Sustainability and Exploitation Plan”, including IP and innovation management.

WP9, WP10, WP11: Project Management and coordination

These horizontal WPs will oversee administrative, financial, legal, and ethical aspects, ensuring compliance, quality assurance, and smooth coordination across project partners.

WP1: Rahmen für den Zugang zur psychischen Gesundheitsversorgung

WP2: Identifikation und Bewertung innovativer Lösungen zur Förderung und Verbesserung des Zugangs zu Angeboten der psychischen Gesundheitsversorgung

WP3: Profilierung von Pilotfällen und Einbindung von Communities

WP4: Evaluation, Kostenanalyse und politische Unterstützung

WP4 wird Bürger*innen, Dienstleistungsanbieter und Fachkräfte der psychosozialen Versorgung einbinden, um gemeinsam lokale Implementierungspläne zu entwickeln und „kleine Pilotprojekte“ zur Erprobung von Lösungen im Bereich psychische Gesundheit umzusetzen.
