Identifying attributes of care that may improve cost-effectiveness in the youth mental health service system.

CONCLUSION: There is at least suggestive cost-effectiveness evidence for a range of attributes of youth mental health care. Further economic research is needed to substantiate most cost-effectiveness findings and to improve targeting of care among young people. Future economic evaluations should examine costs from both societal and health care perspectives and incorporate evidence regarding young people's preferences. PMID: 29129184 [PubMed - in process]
