A new study, led by Alang, finds that people who independently seek mental health care are more likely to rate their treatment as effective, compared to people ordered into care.
“Pathways to Mental Health Services and Perceptions about the Effectiveness of Treatment” used data from the 2010-2014 National Survey on Drug Use and Health (NSDUH) to investigate how a person enters mental health care-via individual choice or coercion-and whether or not that path is associated with how one perceives the care.
