Sleep clinics with health visitors: a 2-year evaluation.
This study was undertaken to evaluate a service for sleep clinics over a time span of 2 years. The service was operated jointly by health visitors and clinical psychologists and based on a previous model run by the same team of psychologists and child development advisors. The outcome was not supportive of this type of service in terms of referral rates over a period of time, improvement rate, continued existence or cost-effectiveness of such a service. The reasons for the difficulties of such clinics are discussed.
