If you were discussing the Mental Health and Mental Disorders Objectives for the year 2010 identified in Healthy People 2010: National Health Promotion and Disease Prevention Objectives with a friend, how might you best summarize some of the ways it
suggests expanding mental health treatment?
A) Tell them it suggests increasing mental health treatment in a variety of ways, and explain that some of the suggestions focus on increasing screening and assessment activities, meeting the needs of children and juveniles, reducing relapse rates for eating disorders, and increasing the numbers of adults who receive treatment for mental disorders and co-occurring substance abuse and mental disorders.
B) Explain that the identified objectives predominately focus on meeting the needs of the elderly population, which increase significantly over the next decade or so as baby boomers age. Tell them that the needs of infants will also be targeted so that future generations will not have as many mental health problems.
C) Discuss how the objectives focus on federal rather than state-level initiatives; thus, effectively shutting state legislatures out of the loop when it comes to making decisions about how health care monies should be allocated.
D) Explain that the objectives emphasize the need for mental health care to be consumer and family driven and disparities in mental health services eliminated with screening, assessment, and referral to mental healthy services becoming common practice.
