美国的医疗保健系统受到螺旋式上升的成本、不平等的准入和不均衡的质量的困扰，可以通过改善行为健康服务来改善人口的健康。这是在这一领域，在降低发病率和死亡率和提高成本效益的护理可以找到最大的潜在回报。证据的审查表明，许多形式的行为健康服务，特别是当提供作为初级医疗保健的一部分，可以是中央这样的改善。证据支持许多但不是所有的行为健康服务时，提供的设置，人们将接受这些服务在特定的行政和财政结构。
The health care system in the United States, plagued by spiraling costs, unequal access, and uneven quality, can find its best chance of improving the health of the population through the improvement of behavioral health services. It is in this area that the largest potential payoff in reduction of morbidity and mortality and increased cost-effectiveness of care can be found. A review of the evidence shows that many forms of behavioral health services, particularly when delivered as part of primary medical care, can be central to such an improvement. The evidence supports many but not all behavioral health services when delivered in settings in which people will accept these services under particular administrative and fiscal structures.
