title: Cost offset effect strategies for the provision of mental health care services.
abstract: This analysis examines what is currently known about the financial efficacy of mental health services in relation to the cost offset effect in health care. Moreover, it suggests that the provision of mental health services should be intertwined with cost offset strategies in regard to its practice, research, and promotion. In doing so, policy decisions and ethical practices of care concerning mental health care delivery may be shaped within an adequate cost structure.
