Project Description

Cost-Benefit Literature Review for the Colorado Department of Human Services

The goal of this project is to update current summary of evidence in the literature on costs and benefits of psychiatric and addiction treatment.

The State Department of Human Services compiles information to provide to the State Legislature in support of state funding for public mental health and addiction treatment services. Current summaries of evidence in the literature on costs and benefits of psychiatric and addiction treatment are helpful for these purposes. Prior work has compiled this information through 2006; we seek a student to assist in keep this report current and providing the information to the State in a usable format. The student will learn literature searches using PubMed, OVID, and Web of Science; summarize and document empirical study findings; describe summary in executive report format; and possibly present updated materials to the Colorado Department of Mental Health and Alcohol and Drug Abuse Division (ADAD).
