“…We had originally wanted to have professionals included in the Delphi study. For mostly pragmatic reasons, the opinions of professionals were obtained via their publications (Filia et al, 2018) and presented to participants here with the option for them to suggest any additional items or feedback. This list was intended to serve as a prompt to participants and to facilitate engagement in the survey.…”

“…The focus of this study was to develop a consensus regarding key features of social inclusion for people with a lived experience of mental illness. There were three specific aims: (1) to determine the face validity of an existing list of items pertaining to social inclusion compiled following thematic analysis of a wide range of literature (Filia et al, 2018); (2) to conduct a Delphi study to obtain consensus of the key features of social inclusion among broader stake holders (consumers of mental health services, carers of people with mental health conditions, and community members); and (3) to compare perspectives of social inclusion in consumers, carers, and community members.…”

Aims: Social inclusion is increasingly understood to have positive and beneficial implications for the mental health outcomes of people with severe mental illness. The concept is plagued by definitional inconsistencies and a lack of consensus regarding what it means to be socially included, in particular for groups most vulnerable to social exclusion, such as people with mental illness. The aim of this study was to obtain a consensus regarding the key contributors to social inclusion from the perspective of people with and without a lived experience of mental illness (consumers of mental health services, carers, and general community members). Methods: Delphi methodology was employed to reach consensus agreement. The Delphi questionnaire was based on a previous review of the literature and consisted of 147 items categorized into 13 domains. It was presented to participants over three rounds. Participants ( N = 104) were recruited into three groups (32 consumers, 32 carers of people with a mental illness, and 40 members of the general community – neither consumers nor carers). Retention of participants from Round 1 to Round 3 was 79.8%. Results: Similarities and differences were observed between the groups. A number of items were very strongly endorsed as key contributors to social inclusion, relating to social participation, social supports, housing, neighbourhood, community involvement, employment and education, health and well-being and service utilization. Conclusion: Findings supported previous work, indicating the importance of having a strong sense of connection with others as well as the importance of safe and stable housing, support services and personal motivation and hope. We obtained a well-rounded perspective among groups regarding the key contributors to social inclusion, with a particular relevance to people living with mental illness. This perspective has significant clinical and research utility.

Background Social inclusion is an emergent construct in the empirical literature, yet elements of social inclusion (e.g. social and community connections) have long been associated with positive health outcomes (Berkman and Syme, 1979). Although it is frequently assumed to be a self-evident concept (i.e. is often not explicitly defined), a number of domains are commonly thought to underlie social inclusion. These include employment/education, social networks, housing, neighbourhood
