"Coverage for All: Inclusion of Mental Illness and Substance Use Disorders in State Healthcare Reform Initiatives," National Alliance on Mental Illness/National Council for Community Behavioral Healthcare: The study finds that more than one in four uninsured U.S. adults has a mental illness or substance use disorder, or both, and that state initiatives to expand health coverage to the uninsured often do not include mental health provisions. The study examines health care initiatives in 18 states and makes recommendations for including mental health coverage in state health care programs (NAMI/National Council for Community Behavioral Healthcare release, June 2008).
