Health registry ​

The Registry of Mental Illness and Addictive disorders (PHA registry) is a health registry where information on mental health is systematically stored. The registry is both a research registry and a quality registry. 

The information in the registry will be used in research on mental illness and addictive disorders, and for working to improve quality of health services. In both cases, the goal is that the registry contributes to better health services.
