Mental Health Care and Its Impacts
Saturday, November 15, 8:30 to 10:00am, Property: Hyatt Regency Seattle, Floor: 5th Floor, Room: 510 - Elwha Ballroom BSession Submission Type: Panel
Abstract
This panel will feature four papers that tackle mental health care and the benefits and unintended consequences of the way it is provided. One paper will address the process of involuntary hospitalization, assessing its effectiveness and ways that it could be improved. Another paper studies housing first vs. treatment first policies through the experience of U.S. veterans and provides insights into which approach is preferrable if the objective is to reduce the mortality of individuals who are experiencing mental health, substance abuse, and housing insecurity issues. A third paper measures the effects of depression on income in the country of Colombia and provides evidence of how treatment can mediate the adverse effects. The final paper discusses the effects of access to behavioral health care in New Mexico.
