High-quality healthcare research to improve youth mental health services
At Jigsaw, our Research and Evaluation Department leads a programme of health services research and evaluation focused on improving youth mental health services across Ireland. Our work is informed by evidence, shaped by learning, and aligned with Ireland’s National Mental Health Research Strategy.
Through a commitment to scientific rigour, ethical integrity, and transparency, we aim to advance the quality, accessibility, and impact of youth mental health care. Our work spans service monitoring, real-world health services research, programme evaluation, and strategic learning, supporting Jigsaw’s mission to deliver early intervention and primary care mental health support to young people. One example is our evaluation of the factors that predict better outcomes for young people who use Jigsaw services, available here.
