AHRQ presents evidence-based mental health library |
Nearly 50 percent of U.S. adults will develop at least one mental illness during their lifetime, according to the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality, and family physicians and patients need a central resource dedicated to providing information about treatment options available, associated costs, and the bottom-line facts about which treatment options may help or harm. That’s why AHRQ presents a new resource library featuring the latest summary publications and products related to mental health research. To access the resources, go to http://www.ahrq.gov/clinic/ehclibrary/reslibmh.htm.
