Overview: Modern research techniques, like simulation testing, can lead to efficient and effective intervention design among people with mental illness by giving us an indication of what might work. In this webinar we: (1) presented some of the evidence for addressing social determinants; (2)used simulations to test the potential of improving income, education, and employment to improve mental health outcomes using two data sets; (3) illustrated the reactions from policymakers, community groups, consumers and advocates on the research results; and (4) demonstrated how research results can inform policy.
