Please check out our latest paper!
Essential reading for anyone interested in one of the routes by which #mentalhealth gets undervalued and underresourced in our current systems.

🤔 Ever wondered how economic evaluations measure and attribute value to mental health? Do they do so fairly? I’m excited to announce (to my handful of followers) that my first PhD paper is now available @TheLancetPsych. Free link: authors.elsevier.com/a/1iUfp… 1/6
