Of those with a substance use disorder, approximately 60 percent also have a mental health disorder. Together, these disorders account for a substantial burden of disability, have been associated with an increased risk of morbidity and mortality from other chronic illnesses, and can be risk factors for incarceration, homelessness, and death by suicide. In addition, they can compromise a person's ability to seek out and afford health care and adhere to treatment recommendations.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eTo explore data, policies, practices, and systems that affect the diagnosis and provision of care for mental health and substance use disorders, the Health and Medicine Division of the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine created the Forum on Mental Health and Substance Use Disorders. The forum activities are expected to advance the discussion and generate potential ideas on ways to address many of the most persistent problems in delivering mental health and substance use services. The inaugural workshop, held October 15-16, 2019, in Washington, DC, explored the key policy challenges that impede efforts to improve care for those individuals with mental health and substance use disorders. This publication summarizes the presentations and discussion of the workshop.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e National Academies of Sciences Engineeri,Health and Medicine Division,Board on Health Sciences Policy\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0309672201\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780309672207\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e National Academies Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/14\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 116\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"National Academies of Sciences Engineeri","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48447704531199,"sku":"9780309672207","price":55.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_0f88db86-b754-4b88-9c9f-49d564a2b7d6.jpg?v=1777234243","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/key-policy-challenges-and-opportunities-national-academies-of-sciences-engineeri-9780309672207","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
