AIM: Psychiatric health services research has to consider health economic points of view more than before as a result of the present-day financial problems in our health care system. Therefore an instrument was developed, which is suitable for the evaluation of cost of mental health care in Germany. METHOD: The Client Sociodemographic and Service Receipt Inventory (CSSRI-EU), which was developed in the UK, was adapted to the German situation and for the first time used in a cost-effectiveness-analysis of mental health care. The adaptation process of the instrument and the practical application are explained and pros and cons considered. RESULTS: The German adaptation of the CSSRI-EU has proven effective in practical application. The instrument offers feasible solutions for many problems with the cost of mental health care. The instrument can be used for the calculation of direct and indirect costs and gives information about service utilization and medication profiles of the clients. CONCLUSION: The German adaptation of the CSSRI-EU is a feasible instrument for the evaluation of the cost of mental health care in Germany.
