How Screening Technology Empowers Individuals and Communities to Promote Health
Abstract
While there is increasing acceptance that there is no health without mental health and mental health is more than the absence of mental health disorders (WHO), there are limited large-scale, brief interventions to address mental health needs and to promote community well- being across whole populations. Roughly one in four of all U.S. adults currently struggle with mental illness, and about half will develop a mental health disorder in their lifetime (CDC). A large majority of adults do not access treatment or wait to access treatment during a behavioral health crisis. Taking a public health, systems-level approach to addressing common mental health disorders can help to prevent onset, or to lead people to treatment and community resources earlier in the condition.
