Which of the following was the primary recommendation of the New Freedom Commission on Mental Health report for the mental health service delivery system?
a. Advised the president to drastically increase funding for mental health
b. Increased scholarships and grants to health care professionals willing to specialize in care of the mentally ill
c. Suggested the federal government take over responsibility for mental health care for all citizens
d. Called for a shift from a fragmented nonsystem to an integrated comprehensive approach to care delivery
ANS: D
The commission acknowledged that mental illness comprises the only type of illness that defies a comprehensive delivery approach. This is due to the way the state and local governments organize, manage, and carry out distinct treatment systems, making comprehensive care impossible in the larger health care system. Thus, the commission called for a shift in the fragmented system to an integrated comprehensive approach to mental health care delivery. The commission did not suggest a drastic increase in funding or scholarships or suggest that the federal government take over responsibility for mental health care for all citizens.
