Mental Health and Substance Use

Better data, better programs, better outcomes for behavioral health

The growing demand for behavioral healthcare continues to outpace supply. Workforce shortages, high costs, and other access challenges leave many people without a path to timely or adequate care.

Strained health systems need to understand which solutions to these challenges have proven effective—and why—so they can scale programs and operations that improve care quality, strengthen outcomes, and use resources more effectively. Mathematica partners with federal and state governments, foundations, managed care organizations, community-based organizations, and health systems to help them gain that understanding.

Through comprehensive research and evaluation, expert advising, and data solutions, we work with our partners to harness the power of data to enhance programs, policies, and services that help prevent and treat mental health and substance use disorders.

With clearer evidence, leaders can target resources where they will have the greatest impact and expand approaches most likely to improve access and outcomes.

Talk with Mathematica about the evidence and implementation support your team needs to improve behavioral health programs and outcomes.
