(CCDAN) is responsible for preparing Cochrane reviews that cover a broad range of mental health issues
. The principle conditions that we cover are:

CCDAN's scope also includes clinically significant problems such as deliberate self-harm, and suicide attempt. For full details see Scope section.
The group was established in 1996 and is currently co-ordinated by an editorial base located within the School of Social and Community Medicine at the University of Bristol, UK.
