Do adolescents with eating disorder not otherwise specified or full-syndrome bulimia nervosa differ in clinical severity, comorbidity, risk factors, treatment outcome or cost?
This study investigated whether adolescents with an eating disorder not otherwise specified (EDNOS) differed from those with bulimia nervosa (BN), on a number of metrics, including costs.
The abstract for this paper can be found here.
The CSRIs were administered via interview. This study administered two CSRIs: one to adolescents not living with their parent/guardian and one to those who were (for this latter group, a parent/guardian was also present at the time of the administration). They differ predominantly with the inclusion of extra questions on the latter questionnaire, focusing on household expenses and employment information relating to the parent/guardian.
Since the focus was on adolescents, questions specifically related to school services (e.g. school nurse) were included.
The CSRI administered via interview with adolescent and parent/guardian together (where these individuals live together) may be downloaded here.
The CSRI administered via interview with adolescent alone (where the individual does not live with their parent or guardian) may be downloaded here.
Effectiveness and costs of acute day hospital treatment compared with conventional in-patient care: randomised controlled trial.
In this study, 206 individuals were assigned to either day hospital or conventional wards. Costs as well as other outcomes over the treatment period were considered.
The abstract for this paper can be found here.
The CSRI was administered via interview either at the respondent’s home or at the hospital ward. The CSRI includes a criminal justice contact section, which is not always included (for example, to save on the response burden from study participants), unless it is suspected that this may be a large enough cost driver.
The CSRI can be downloaded here. The accompanying manual can be found here.
Twelve years on: Service use and costs for people with mental health problems who left psychiatric hospital
This paper investigated the full cost and service implications for those shifting from long-stay psychiatric hospitals to community care 12 years prior.
The abstract for this paper may be found here.
The CSRI for this study can be found here.
The corresponding manual for the CSRI can be downloaded here.
As this CSRI shows through its medication section, it is possible to ask for different recall periods within a CSRI (this CSRI asks for medication over one month and other services over three months). Typically, all of the questions in a CSRI will cover the same recall period for consistency, unless there is a reason not to do so (possibly due to the nature of some specific services).
ProCEED: Report of a study of proactive care by practice nurses for people with depression and anxiety
The report, which includes a chapter on the economic evaluation, may be found here. The study evaluated proactive practice nurse care for people with depression and anxiety.
The CSRI for this study can be found here.
This was a self-complete questionnaire, and the question wording reflects this throughout. For the opening questions, the respondent is asked to identify service receipt owing to a specific condition (e.g. due to depression). In different contexts, it is too difficult to attribute receipt of a service to a condition (e.g. for a person with dementia attending due to a fall- the fall may or may not have been due to the person’s dementia). In such instances, the respondent is typically not asked to judge whether this was due to the condition or not and all receipt is considered.
A self-complete version of the CSRI has also been used in two evaluations of day-long workshops in South London, with participants in the study being aged 18+. On recruitment to the study, a researcher is on hand to provide any help the participants might need to complete the short questionnaire booklet. Follow-up data collection is by post, with completion supported by a home visit or telephone call if necessary.

Abstract for ‘Psycho-educational CBT-Insomnia workshops in the community.
iCST (Individual Cognitive Stimulation Therapy) for people with dementia
This is a recently completed study and findings have not yet been published. The protocol for this study can be found here. The study involved individuals in London, Bangor, Hull and Manchester.
The CSRI was designed to be administered via interview, and can be found here , with the accompanying manual found here.
One of the key features of this CSRI is the expanded carer section, which includes questions related to time spent by carers taking care recipients to services, such as day centres.
The economic cost of chronic fatigue and chronic fatigue syndrome in UK primary care
This study compared primary care cost differences between people with chronic fatigue and chronic fatigue syndrome. The abstract for this paper can be found here. This was a self-complete CSRI, which can be downloaded here. As can be seen, the CSRI has been heavily adapted to collect service receipt data related to a primary care setting, including specific services such as X-ray and CAT scans.
