Many people with psychiatric disorders are unable to find suitable employment or adequate support to maintain it. The MINI ICF‐APP allows for focused monitoring of areas where support is needed. The authors assessed the usability, acceptability and usefulness of the MINI ICF‐APP within a community mental health team to establish whether this instrument really can improve identification and the targeting of evidence‐based employment interventions for those with psychiatric disorders.
