This planned mixed methods protocol is designed to explore oral health care for individuals living with serious mental health conditions (SMHC). It was co-produced by academics, people with lived experience of mental health conditions, and oral and mental health clinicians. The study seeks to explore oral health quality of life predictors and oral health care experiences of people diagnosed with serious mental health conditions (e.g. schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, major depression and general anxiety disorder) about their oral health care experiences. The research research will generate recommendations for creating positive oral healthcare experiences for people living with SMHC. Research co-production with people diagnosed with mental health conditions is a recommended strategy to improve the utility and relevance of health research, as well as empower a disenfranchised population.
本计划中的混合方法方案旨在探索为患有严重精神健康状况（SMHC）的个人提供口腔保健服务。该方案由学者、有精神健康状况生活经历的人以及口腔和精神健康临床医生共同制定。该研究旨在探讨被诊断患有严重精神健康状况（如精神分裂症、双相情感障碍、重度抑郁症和广泛性焦虑症）的人群的口腔健康生活质量预测因素和口腔保健经历。该研究将为为患有严重精神健康状况的人创造积极的口腔保健体验提出建议。与被诊断患有精神健康状况的人共同开展研究是一种推荐策略，有助于提高健康研究的实用性和相关性，并增强被剥夺权利人群的权能。
