  BACKGROUND: Those with serious mental illness (SMI) experience poor health outcomes which may be addressed by the integration of mental health and primary care services. This integration could be enhanced by the inclusion of consumers in the planning process. AIMS: This study sought to bring the voice of the consumer with SMI to assist with the integration of primary care and mental health services. METHODS: = 137) of consumers with SMI about their experiences of the health care system and perspectives on integrated health. Data from surveys and focus groups were analyzed and integrated. RESULTS: Generally, individuals with SMI supported the integration of care, with careful consideration given to social determinants of health, patient privacy, and respect between providers and patients. CONCLUSIONS: Integration may reduce health disparities experienced by individuals with SMI, but the process must be informed by intended consumers. Policymakers and administrators will need to address barriers to care, healthcare stigma, and social determinants of health. Nurses are well placed to inform and lead healthcare integration and overcome the siloing of mental and physical healthcare systems.

  Collaborative in design and execution, the books in the Keywords series bring together scholars across a wide range of disciplines in the humanities and social sciences, with each essay on a single term to help trace the contours and debates of a particular field. Keywords are the nodal points in many of today's most dynamic and vexed discussions of political and social life, both inside and outside of the academy. Providing accessible A-to-Z surveys of prevailing scholarly concepts, the books serve as flexible tools for carving out new areas of inquiry.
