Abstract

Providing highly-personalised mental health care to young people, as early as possible in an illness, is a global priority. COVID-19 has been particularly harsh on the mental health of youth. This program (‘Right Care, First Time') uses digital technologies, new health planning tools, early intervention services and socio-economic policies to drive local delivery. These approaches require detailed studies to test whether they can deliver better health and economic outcomes.
