The World Health Organization’s Department of Mental Health and Substance Abuse is forming a global network of mental health
professionals to help inform the development of the classification of Mental and Behavioural
Disorders in next version of the International Classification of Diseases (ICD-11), currently planned for publication in 2015.
We are writing to invite you to register for the new Global Clinical Practice Network (GCPN). As a part of this international group of mental health professionals, you will be asked provide information and feedback to us based on your
clinical expertise, experience, and knowledge as we develop the new classification of mental and behavioural disorders. This is of vital importance to ensuring that the new classification is clinically useful, easy to use and accurate.
The process of developing the Mental and Behavioural Disorders chapter of ICD-11 is fully multidisciplinary, and nursing is formally represented on the International Advisory Group for this effort.
We are specifically interested in the participation of nurses in the
GCPN due to their global importance in providing mental health and primary care services.
If you choose to participate, you may be asked to review materials, offer feedback about ideas or concepts that we are developing, or
participate in specific types of field studies.
The information you provide will inform our decisions about the content and structure of the new classification system, as well as how
that information will be presented to different users.
The surveys that we send to you will be based on your own professional interests and areas of expertise.
Once registered in the GCPN, you will receive survey requests no more than once a month, and each survey will take approximately 20 –
30 minutes to complete. Your participation will be completely voluntary, and your responses
will be kept confidential, secure, and will not be released to anyone else. We will never ask you to provide information that could be used to identify any of your patients.
Data are to be analyzed in aggregate form and used exclusively for the purpose of ICD revision.
The first studies have already begun. There are now more than 10,000 participants enrolled in
the GCPN, from 127 countries. From the main link below, you can choose to register in any of
nine languages (Arabic, Chinese, English,French, German, Japanese, Portuguese,Russian, and Spanish).
