Mental health economics European network, phase II

 

Mental health economics European network, phase II

The Mental Health Economics European Network (MHEEN I) was established in 2002 with 17 partners (the then 15 EU member states plus Norway and Iceland). In 2004 (MHEEN II) the network was extended from the original 17 countries and expanded to include new member and candidate states and includes 31 countries.

The project is coordinated by Mental Health Europe and the London School of Economics and is funded by the European Commission for the duration of 24 months (July 2004 - September 2007). MHEEN I constructed a simple framework to identify and collect data on some of the primary economic dimensions relevant to mental health, and undertook a comparative analysis of how current mental health systems work and how they might be developed. MHEEN II extended the initial analysis to the new member and candidate states using this same framework.

It also extend the work of MHEEN I by analysing the impact of modifying economic barriers and incentive structures for the organisation of mental health services, economic data collection methods at a micro level, and reviewing the cost effectiveness of promotion and prevention strategies against a range of mental health problems occurring across the lifecycle including depression and anxiety disorders.

The second phase of analysis was completed in 2007.
