  • Title: Needs Assessment for Behavioral Health Workforce: a State-Level Analysis.
    Author: Nayar P, Apenteng B, Nguyen AT, Shaw-Sutherland K, Ojha D, Deras M.
    Journal: J Behav Health Serv Res; 2017 Jul; 44(3):465-473. PubMed ID: 26936627.
    Abstract:
    This study describes trends in the supply and the need for behavioral health professionals in Nebraska. A state-level health workforce database was used to estimate the behavioral health workforce supply and need. Compared with national estimates, Nebraska has a lower proportion of all categories of behavioral health professionals. The majority of Nebraska counties have unusually high needs for mental health professionals, with rural areas experiencing a decline in the supply of psychiatrists over the last decade. Availability of robust state-level health workforce data can assist in crafting effective policy for successful systems change, particularly for behavioral health.
