INForMHAA - Interpreter-mediated Mental Health Act Assessments - AMHP Interview Transcripts

Dataset

Description

This dataset contains 17 anonymised interview transcripts with Approved Mental Health Professionals (AMHPs) about their experiences working with interpreters during Mental Health Act assessments. The semi-structured interviews provide rich qualitative insights into the challenges and best practices of interpreter-mediated mental health evaluations, including communication dynamics, procedural barriers, and recommendations for service improvement. All transcripts have been carefully de-identified to remove personal and organisational identifiers while preserving the substantive content and are presented as PDF documents suitable for qualitative analysis.
