Organising housing and service provision for persons with co-occurring substance use and mental health problems: a scoping review in the ROP Municipal.
Article in BMC psychiatry, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundPersons with co-occurring disorders, both substance use and mental health problems (COP) may be encountered within various disciplinary systems and organisational levels of treatment. In western countries, the most common evidence-based housing programme for persons with complex, long-term needs due to severe mental illness and substance use is Housing First. The context of this study were the Nordic countries, granting universal access to treatment and free public services. The aim was to examine how multidisciplinary and integrated housing services are organised and coordinated for persons with COP.
methodsWe conducted a systematic search for literature in six databases (i.e. CINAHL, Ovid, SocINDEX, Web of Science, Scopus, and Social Services Abstracts), along with manual searches. After blinded review by two authors in Rayyan, the full texts of 75 articles were reviewed for inclusion, the quality of the selected research articles was completed according to checklists from the Joanna Briggs Institute. A thematic analysis of nine articles was completed according to a coding scheme.
resultsFrom the Nordic perspective, introduced as a model in this article, regions need to develop the organisation and the workforce skills of health and social services as an integrated whole, with special focus on defining responsibilities at different levels, maintaining and improving relationships within a multidisciplinary, integrated, comprehensive, and community-based system of care inclusive of housing services. Supporting the recovery of persons with COP means giving them a voice and having professionals skilled in COP aid them.
conclusionsThe approach of emphasizing primary care and multidisciplinary mental health is yet today a challenge even in high-income areas. The integration of services was not on an ideal level, even though the housing policies were rights-based. We identified societal responsibilities stemming from national policies. It is possible that functional integration does not take place in all regions. As the working methods were based on active relationship building to be able to help persons with COP, we interpreted this as a sign of clinical integration. The recommendations for the organisation and coordination of services for persons with COP include ensuring the right to a home, ensuring social integration and community involvement, combatting stigma, and systemising user involvement. There are research gaps in all Nordic countries and the research within housing for persons with COP is scarce. We call for using multi-dimensional research approaches.
