Economic Evaluation of 9 Intersectoral Strategies to Improve Youth Mental Health and Alleviate Financial Burden in Colombia Using System Dynamics Modeling
Combined intersectoral mental health strategies were synergistic and resulted in optimal health outcomes relative to business as usual. The system dynamics approach offers additional attributes to economic evaluation in mental health settings by considering capacity constraints, unintended consequences, and interactions between multiple interventions. It is a valuable approach for decision-makers to effectively and efficiently prioritize and allocate scarce resources in complex public health systems.
