Summary
"All children have the right to thrive and to meet their potential. When governments invest in effective health promotion, disorder prevention and treatment services, the personal and financial costs of childhood mental disorders can be substantially reduced. Economic evaluations are a vital tool in reducing these costs because they help determine which specific interventions constitute the wisest use of limited public funds." (CMHR Quarterly, vol. 3, no. 1, 2009)
