A novel SCL-90-R six-item factor identifies subjects at risk of early adverse outcomes in public mental health settings

Most European clinical mental health systems are based on community networks of facilities aimed at promoting, restoring, and maintaining mental health (WHO, 2007; Lora, 2009; European Commission, 2017). Although access to mental health care usually is improved with community-based services, the care provided may not meet individual clinical needs, even in well-developed systems (Alonso et  al., 2004; Khon et al., 2004; Lora et al., 2012). To reduce barriers to psychiatric care, the Italian mental health care system was reformed in 1978 to foster community-oriented networks of mental health facilities (Piccinelli et al., 2002; Lora, 2009).
