title: Survey search: prevalence/effects of newer mental health care and cost management programs.
abstract: Three types of programs are beginning to capture the imagination of employers concerned about issues related to mental health care and its costs: utilization review, particularly via psychiatric PPOs and case management; Employee Assistance Programs; and substance abuse testing. The spread of these programs, the promise and problems they present and their effectiveness (where measured on a wide scale) are documented here, based on studies by a variety of researchers.
