This research is assembling evidence about the costs and benefits of mental health treatment technologies, programs that deliver mental health care, and major changes in mental health policy. This involves conducting literature reviews, reanalyzing some existing studies of treatment and service delivery models, and some natural experiments in mental health policy change.

Mental health outcomes will be monetized by converting outcomes into QALYs and using estimates of the values of a life year. This research is being conducted jointly with Sherry Glied of Columbia University.
