The U.S. is in the middle of what many experts are a calling a “mental health crisis.” As a result, there is increased interest in initiatives that place mental health clinicians on campuses. Despite research suggesting that this model should help students, there was, until recently, little evidence that school-based mental health services have the desired impacts. My guest this episode is Ezra Golberstein, Associate Professor of Health Policy and Management at the University of Minnesota School of Public Health. Ezra and his colleagues recently published an article entitled, “Effects of School-Based Mental Health Services on Youth Outcomes,” in which he examines the causal effects of the approach. He and I discuss his findings. More information about Ezra, including a link to his article, is below.
