Guest editors' introduction: implementing evidence-based mental health practices and performance measures in Massachusetts.
In September 2005, a one day educational forum on implementing evidence-based mental health practices and performance measures in Massachusetts was held at Brandeis University. Factors for successful implementation are reviewed. Papers in this issue cover theory, concrete actions, and best practices that will aid policy makers, providers, and consumers in improving their behavioral health services.
