Interventions targeting patients with co-occuring severe mental illness and substance use (dual diagnosis) in general practice settings - a scoping review of the literature.

Background: People with dual diagnosis die prematurely compared to the general population, and general practice might serve as a setting in the healthcare system to mend this gap in health inequity. However, little is known about which interventions that have been tested in this setting.

Aim: To scope the literature on interventions targeting patients with dual diagnosis in a general practice setting, the outcomes used, and the findings.
