- 🧵 New WP with @kaimiele.bsky.social. We document 2 unsettling patterns in mental health care: 1) despite universal coverage, few individuals with mental illness receive guideline-consistent treatment, and 2) the more severe the illness, the lower the treatment uptake & the longer the wait times. 1/n
- This may be due to provider shortages. We study this using German insurance data on patients hospitalized due to mental illness in 2017. Despite guidelines recommending psychotherapy for all these patients, only 26% received it within a year. 2/n
- Even more concerning, patients with the highest risk of readmission faced the longest wait times and lowest treatment rates. 3/n
