|
Objectives: This study aims to examine current mental health indicators in South Korea comparing international mental health indicators, and to review their policy implications for better mental health.
Methods: We examined the international mental health indicators provided by the World Health Organization and the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, and explored the policy implications of the Australian mental health indicators.
Results: We found that indicators for system effectiveness are commonly used while indicators for efficiency are not relatively often used. The indicators for economic budget to see efficiency are limited still in South Korea. However, international mental health indicators for expenditure and budget are frequently provided and used for diverse reasons.
Conclusion: It is necessary to generate the systematic reasonable mental health indicators to monitor efficiencies of mental health programs using reliable database and to evaluate them for better mental health system.
