The goal of the working group is evidence-based development of care for patients with mental illnesses supported through quality research and economic evaluations. We support research led by or in collaboration with users of mental health care. We provide evidence for policy recommendations to aid informed decision-making about the psychiatric care system. We are currently working mainly on projects within the framework of the reform of mental health care services in the Czech Republic, especially on the project of early intervention for people with an increased risk of developing a serious mental illness (Vizdom).
