Abstract
Money and Mental Disorder: Toward Behavioral Cost Accounting for Primary Prevention
Dooley D~~Catalano R
Recent retrospective sociological research suggesting that rises as well as falls in the economy are associated with such indicators of mental disorder as suicide & mental hospitalization are reviewed. The review emphasizes that a lag exists between economic change & the changes in associated mental indicators. These findings hold promise both for early warning for practitioners & for primary prevention. (21 refs.)
