Improving Mental Health Treatments Through Comparative Effectiveness Research
Health Affairs, 05/13/09
Wang PS et al. - There is a pressing need for comparative effectiveness research to improve mental health treatments. Although U.S. mental health spending has increased dramatically, mainly because of the rapid adoption of newer psychotropic medications, fewer than a quarter of people with serious mental illnesses receive appropriate care. Because of a general lack of information on the relative effectiveness of different treatments, payers are uncertain about the value of current spending, which in turn may deter new investments to reduce unmet need.
