Overview
Behavioral health care is often fragmented, underinsured, and subject to numerous access barriers. As a result, patients lack access to evidence-based treatments and face difficulties in finding providers with the required expertise. Our mission is to increase access to behavioral health services thereby improving symptoms and quality of life for individuals with serious and persistent mental illness. We conduct research focused on payments to providers that incentivize coordinated and high-quality care, parity in insurance coverage between behavioral health and medical treatments, and the impacts of increased commercialization in behavioral health treatment.
