Abstract
- The article focuses on a study which examined the early lifetime individual and population non-hospital healthcare costs associated with childhood mental health difficulties in Australia. Total Medicare costs were analyzed using data from the Longitudinal Study of Australian Children. Results of the study showed that there is an association between increased individual costs and persistence of difficulties. It also found low levels of reimbursement for mental health services in this population.
