  • Title: Mental health crises and public policy: opportunities for change?
    Author: Hogan MF, Sederer LI.
    Journal: Health Aff (Millwood); 2009; 28(3):805-8. PubMed ID: 19414890.
    Abstract:
    Mental health care is a state responsibility. Periodically, tragic incidents involving a person with a mental illness (such as the shootings at Virginia Tech) attract the public's attention. But little is known about the impact of this attention. Does meaningful change occur, and how? In this commentary we explore recent efforts to advance change in the wake of tragedy.
