Mapping the landscape and evidence of cross-sectoral collaboration models targeting individuals referred for assessment of attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder or autism spectrum disorder: protocol for a scoping review.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Neurodevelopmental disorders, notably attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and autism spectrum disorder (ASD), present substantial challenges in mental health. Individuals referred for assessment in a psychiatric unit experience complex needs. This implies that their needs necessitate coordination across multiple sectors. Cross-sectoral collaboration models have emerged as essential strategies for addressing the complexities of these disorders. However, evidence of their existence, implementation and success remains limited. This protocol aims to outline a scoping review where we will explore existing collaboration models, evaluate their implementation and gain an understanding of how cross-sectoral collaboration models can be developed to ultimately benefit
