rapid review of youth mental health project
Counties Manukau Health
Youth mental health is a significant challenge in New Zealand.
Innovative action
requires rapid learning through evaluation, reflection and decision-making.
Counties Manukau Health asked us to provide a rapid assessment of a pilot service they had funded in Manukau to support young people with mild to moderate mental health needs.
Action and Impact
This rapid review included interviews with key informants and analysis of the available data to assess the effectiveness of:
- the service model
- the management and implementation of the model
- whether to continue and/or scale the programme
This work enabled Counties Manukau Health to be confident in their decision-making about the future of the pilot and where future investment should be targeted.
